EDDIE TRUNK Returns to Host 3rd Annual "RIDE FOR RONNIE" Motorcycle Rally & Concert By Larry Petro, News Monkey Monday, March 13, 2017 @ 2:18 PM
The Dio Cancer Fund is pleased to announce that after being unable to host last year's RIDE due to scheduling conflicts, renowned radio personality EDDIE TRUNK (http://eddietrunk.com/ ) will return to host 2017's RIDE FOR RONNIE. In an exclusive interview with Billboard, Trunk explains that he was first invited by Wendy Dio to host Ronnie James Dio's memorial service in 2010, and since then has donated his time to host several subsequent events in support of the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund's quest in cancer research.
Trunk tells Billboard, "It's a great cause and a great fund. Wendy and her team work real hard on making these things happen... I'm really honored to be a part of this, and I'm really honored to help when I can. It does so many things. It helps people who need help who are struggling with cancer. It helps grow this fund. It helps grow awareness for Ronnie and keeps his memory alive. I'm just happy to be a part of it and help whenever I can when I'm called on."
He continues, "I loved [Ronnie] as a fan long before I knew him personally - loved his voice, loved his music. When I finally got into the business and got to know him personally, as much as I was a fan of him as a musician before I knew him, I became even more of a fan when I got to know him as a person, because he was just a wonderful man."
