Graveling For Good
From the very beginning bikes have been good to me. Since I started pedaling I have met some awesome people, traveled a bit, and basically gotten my life back. Because of bikes I am healthy, happy, and have a positive outlook on the future. They are my breath, they are my choice, my way of life. Bikes are the best decision I have ever made.
It was a no-brainer to use bikes in a fundraiser to put some $$ into the Love Fund, which helps pay for lunches and other school necessities for kids who can't afford it. The idea was to bring together cyclists for a gravel ride and have them donate to the cause. On January 28th approximately thirty-five cyclists showed to brave the cold and ride a twenty-eight mile course. That morning we raised over $1000! Totally smashing the $500 goal that was set. After adding a GoFundMe account for those who couldn't attend and an additional $700 was made! Cyclists are an incredibly generous bunch! Thank you!
On Friday Feb. 10th I brought the checks to the elementary school. The photo below is myself with the principal and vice principal. The total amount delivered was $1787.00! Not too shabby for my first fundraiser. Notice, I said 'first fundraiser'. Stay tuned.
