Local snowmobiles join ‘Never Surrender’ ride
Five Cook County snowmobilers participated in the 2009 Blackwoods Blizzard Tour on February 5-7. Kathy and Tom Bernier and Tad McDonnell, of Colvill; Ron “Carbine” Carlson of Hovland and Chuck Silence of Grand Marais rode nearly 400 miles in the ‘Never Surrender’ ride to fight Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. They were up early Friday morning to travel down the scenic North Shore to Two Harbors where they spent the night. On Saturday, February 7, riders returned to Proctor. The event culminated in a gala dinner provided by Blackwoods at the Greysolon Ballroom in Duluth where riders learned that they had raised $465,000 to fight ALS.
