The ride honors 27-year-old Rancho Bernardo grad Michael Fox, according to our media partners, the North County Times.

Proceeds will benefit the Wounded Marine Fund, which is hoping to buy a special truck from Heller Ford in Escondido for Fox.
Fox joined the Marines four years ago. While on foot patrol in Afghanistan, he stepped on an explosive device, which took both his legs off and damaged his left arm, the event’s organizer Curtis Gandy told the NCT.
