Minneapolis, March 23, 2010 - For the second year in a row, Off-Road Enthusiast CJ Rena Johnson is on a mission, a mission to cure. Johnson, along with her Pink Polaris RANGER RZR, is visiting private, public, local, state and federal ATV and OHV parks around the country to spread the word and raise money for various charities including American Cancer Society, American Breast Cancer Society, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and St. Jude Children Research Hospital.
"2009 was a huge success," said Johnson. "Once again, we are going to take the nation by storm as we take on challenges in a way that will affect our community in very positive and profound ways."
"OHV Tour for a Cure" works by having sponsors, groups, businesses, participants, spectators and other riders pledge donations to the charity of their choice. People interested in pledging or joining one of the rides can visit http://www.cjrenajohnson.com for an updated list of places "OHV Tour for a Cure" will stop. Johnson attends every event and rides along in her Pink Polaris RANGER RZR which has become a symbol of the tour.
