In June, I will embark on an incredible seven-day cycling trip through the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains.  I will be part of a committed team consisting of 40+ cyclists that will participate in this year's Colorado Ride The Rockies to help raise money and awareness for the homeless in our community.  My dad completed this ride last year with this same team and had the time of his life, so this year I accepted the challenge. We are Team Samaritan House!

Over the past six years, Team Samaritan House has raised over $375,000 for the Samaritan House and the other homeless shelters in the Denver area due to our generous donors.

These shelters provide overnight stay and long-term residence with intensive case management. The ultimate goal of these homeless shelters is to help residents become self-reliant by providing needed individualized assistance.

My motivation for this ride is, and will be, knowing the difference we can make in the lives of those less fortunate (and, let's be honest, a little of just seeing if I can actually complete the dang thing). Each dollar raised will truly change the lives of the individuals and families who call these shelters home.

Thanks so much in advance for your consideration of this worthwhile cause!  And if you can't donate, then please just pray or send good vibes that I live through this (#outofshapebutimtrying)!!!! ?

You guys are the best!
