Sorry. We won't post it.
Hospice is an extremely worthy cause, and we support those rides throughout the year. But unfourtunately and as highlighted in your posting request, the run is scheduled for Memorial Day.
That is a day to remember those that have died securing our freedom and way of life. We only post events or runs that support Memorial Day ceremonies or benefits that support Veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. We won't be a part of attempts at commercializing these days, or hijacking the true meaning of the days.
Hope you understand. And if you don't, we don't give a shit.
Freedom isn't free.

I agree with you that this day is reserved for remembering & honoring our veterans. Hospice is a worthy cause but this is a special day for veterans & should remain as such. Thanks for having the guts to do it.
I for one -Salute Dixiebiker
for being true RED WHITE AND BLUE on this special day . A lot of good Americans both living and gone from this world deserve this respect from all of us free birds on Memorial Day .
