Dear Friends,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my personal fundraising page.

In June I will participate in Ride the Rockies,(RtR) which is an incredible six day cycling trip through the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains. The ride will begin in Carbondale on June 11th and will conclude in Fort Collins on June 17, covering 403 miles and over 30,000 vertical feet.  

This is my first RtR and I am blessed to join 32 other riders who are part of Team Samaritan House and are committed to raising money and awareness for the homeless in our community.

Over the past five years Team Samaritan House has raised over $250,000 for the Samaritan House and other homeless shelters in the Denver area with the help of many generous donors. Each team member has committed to fundraising $1500 at a minimum. My personal goal is to double or triple that number.

Our goal this year is to raise over $150,000 dollars to benefit five homeless shelters including the Samaritan House in Denver. These shelters provide food, shelter and other necessary services for hurting folks in our community. The ultimate goal of these shelters is to help residents get back on their feet and break the pattern of homelessness.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and generosity.

God bless you,

Joel
