Hello Friends!
As some of you know our son Jonathan has Down Syndrome
and Hydrocepalus. Recently he has been involved in
a wonderful program called Best Buddies that has made such a indelible
impact in his life. Since I am an avid cyclist, my wife Deb thought this
event would be a wonderful way for us to give back to a cause that we hold
near and dear to our hearts, so...
On May 30, 2009, I will ride my bike 100 miles in the Audi Best Buddies
Hyannis Port Challenge in support of the 250 million people living with
intellectual disabilities. The ride will be physically challenging, but
the reward will be like none-other; the chance of a life-time to change the
life of another, while positively changing my own.
And here is why I need your help! In order to ride, I need to reach my
fundraising goal of $<ENTER YOUR FUNDRAISING GOAL HERE>. Any amount
you can give will ensure Best Buddies continues to provide critical
services and job integration for people with intellectual disabilities.
And, your donation is tax deductable!
I choose to ride for Best Buddies because 100% of the funds I raise will go
directly to their programs. Which means any contribution you give for my
challenge directly affects the lives of those living with intellectual
disabilities. Best Buddies is a non-profit organization founded by Anthony
Kennedy Shriver in 1989, dedicated to helping people with intellectual
disabilities form friendships and find jobs in their community. The Audi
Best Buddies Challenge events are a strong symbol of the lasting
friendships and open community that Best Buddies fosters throughout their
programs.
Here is how you can donate: You can donate easily and securely by clicking
on my personal fundraising webpage link located below. Here you can read
more about the Audi Best Buddies Challenge, see my fundraising goals, and
read why it is more important than ever to support Best Buddies Programs.
I am so excited to participate in this ride! With each day, I train harder
and longer. With each dollar you donate, you bring me one more mile closer
to my goal. Thank you in advance for your generous support!
