I contacted Steve Barber to see how he is doing. His reply was short. I'm hanging in there. Liver is shot-waiting for transplant. Steve is a great guy and the go to guy to get things done. He was the spark plug for the ISDT RR as well as the Little Burr and Baby Burr. I'm sure that we will all keep him and his family in our prays. Amherst Paul Steves email [email protected]

Thank you Paul for posting this about Steve's health. I should have responded sooner especially since Steve's daughter has set up a GoFundMe account to help her father and family during this tough time.

The recent post from Steve's daughter on GoFundMe indicates that Steve is at the Cleveland Clinic and he is on the waiting list for a liver transplant.

Please keep Steve in your thoughts & prayers!

Hi Mike,

I can only assume you would like more information about Steve since I read your post before it was edited?

Steve Barber is the President of the Enduro Riders Association in McArthur, Ohio. He is the man that took over that tough position years ago and Steve and his members along with many friends from other clubs have hosted many quality events in Southern Ohio for years.

His health has suffered recently and Steve needs a liver transplant so any help would be greatly appreciated. This is why I mentioned he is at the Cleveland Clinic and his name is on the list for an organ donation.

To be on a list for organ donation is "wonderful news" because now there is hope for Steve!

Here is the link that his daughter set up.

I have met Steve at the Reunion Ride at MacArthur OH. and am not sure how the first post occurred, as I did not intend to past the entire text or add the ? marks, but thanks. Mike
