A Harley-Davidson benefit run will take place in the Cleveland, Ohio area on Saturday, May 15, 2010 to benefit Jared Koston and his family.
Koston, the 40-year old drummer of the Cleveland, Ohio-based metal band VENOMIN JAMES, was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma cancer.

Hines Hill Rd. - 330-650-2799). Tickets are being sold for $7.00 a piece with proceeds going to the Koston family. The run will feature food, beverages, a bake sale, 50/50 raffle and a raffle for donations made by local businesses and a live performance at Liberty Harley-Davidson following the run by Auburn recording artists H.A.T.E. Donations from the raffles and bake sale will go to the Koston family for medical, travel and other expenses.
Riders are encouraged to pre-register for the run by contacting the event organizer, Kristen Matejka, at kristenm188@gmail.com
