Roaring Up the Mountain!
Worthington & Caron is thrilled to announce that it will again serve
as lead sponsor for the 4th Annual “The Greatest Escape” Motorcycle
Ride for Mesothelioma Research in Los Angeles. “The Greatest Escape”
is inspired by actor and motorcycle enthusiast Steve McQueen, whose vibrant
life was cut short by mesothelioma at the age of 50 on November 7, 1980.
The Greatest Escape is hosted by The Pacific Mesothelioma Center (PMC)
at the Pacific Heart, Lung & Blood Institute (PHLBI), with 100% of
proceeds supporting PMC’s much-needed research for a cure for mesothelioma.
“The Greatest Escape” will take place on Sunday July 24, 2016.
Sign-in and day of event registration begins at 8:30 AM, with the ride
taking off at 10 AM from Glendale Harley-Davidson located at 3717 San

Highway led by returning celebrity grand marshal, actor/model and motorcycle
enthusiast Fabio Lanzoni. The ride will finish at the legendary mountain-top
roadhouse,
Newcomb’s Ranch.
