One Team, One Dream!

Dear Friends,

In June, I will embark on an incredible six day cycling trip through the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains. Six years ago, I started a volunteer cycling team to raise money and awareness for the homeless of Colorado. Again this year, I am part of a committed team consisting of 33 cyclists that will participate in this year's Colorado Ride The Rockies to help raise money and awareness for the homeless in our community. We are Team Samaritan House!

Over the past five years, Team Samaritan House has raised over $250,000 for the Samaritan House and the other homeless shelters in the Denver area due to our generous donors.

Funds raised in 2016 will benefit five homeless shelters including the Samaritan House in Denver. 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.

Ride the Rockies will begin in Carbondale in June 11th and will conclude in Fort Collins on June 17, riding 403 miles and over 30,000 vertical feet. The ride will be physically demanding and undoubtedly there will be some sore muscles. My motivation for this ride is, and will be, knowing the difference we can make in the lives of those less fortunate. Each dollar raised will truly change the lives of the individuals and families who call these shelters home.

May God bless you and thanks in advance for your consideration of this worthwhile cause!
