ur TLF programs and support initiatives have
directly impacted thousands upon thousands of
lives,says Ludacris. nd what I am more proud
of is the fact that we have thousands of hours
invested in hands-on service. I mention these
things not to brag, or pat myself or my
foundation on the back, but to underscore the
responsibility we all have to turn back, reach
back and give back. That why we do what we do,
and that why we are so happy to work with
Harley-Davidson and others that share our desire
to help./font>
