Emily and Jennifer both have Cystic Fibrosis and are doing well as a direct result of the hard work and fundraising of everyone who attends the annual London Cobra Show.

The live auction, silent auction, and charity rides were all well executed, safe, and fun.  Huge thanks to the Ohio Cobra Club, to all of the sponsors, vendors, and customers who support this show.  I hope you join us in Ohio this summer!
