In June, I will embark on an incredible six day cycling trip through the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains. This 403 mile bike ride with a total elevation gain of just under 30,000 vertical feet, will undoubtedly be a challenge for me, as I have never completed a ride this long or this strenuous. However, with your support, I hope to complete this challenge knowing that together we are truly making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. 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!
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. Each dollar raised will truly change the lives of the individuals and families who call these shelters home.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this worthwhile cause.
