Ride for Bella 2012

 Started in 2010, the Ride for Bella is becoming one of New Hampshires largest motorcycle benefit rides. The ride was started to raise money for the Bella Tucker fund. The Bella Tucker Fund was created to support Bella Tucker of Londonderry New Hampshire who survived a near fatal infection which resulted in the amputation of all four of her limbs. Money from the fund is used to help the family offset her never ending medical bills.

The ride for 2012 will once again start at the Steve N James Tavern in Derry, NH. We are expecting to follow the same route out to Seacoast Harley Davidson and return to Steve N James Tavern. As the event gets closer the route details, event details and nay important informtion will be updated on this site.

About Bella Tucker

Bella Tucker is a 10 year old gymnast from Londonderry, New Hampshire who survived a near fatal infection which resulted in the amputation of all four of her limbs.  On Easter Sunday, 2010, Bella came down with Streptococcus Pneumonia Sepsis with DIC(disseminated intravascular coagulation).  Doctors gave little hope for this third graders survival, but after five days in a coma, she miraculously survived.  Unfortunately, her survival was not without significant cost.  The infection caused extensive tissue damage, and on April 27, 2010, Bella underwent the first of many operations to amputate her limbs.  Bella spent the next seven months at Children's Hospital Boston, and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and is now on a long and difficult  road to recovery as she learns to live life to its fullest without her limbs.
