RAGBRAI 2024 - COMPLETED

Mission

Samaritan House's mission is to improve the lives of those they serve, focusing on women, families, veterans, and people experiencing homelessness or food insecurity 

In Fiscal Year 2009-2010, the Samaritan House provided shelter and served roughly 260,000 meals for those in hunger. In Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Samaritan House continues to provide shelter and will serve approximately 640,000 meals.  In 14 years the support has more than doubled, and there is still a great need.  I wanted to help solve the problem, but it has turned out to b a differential equation with 16 variables and 32 unknowns.

Samaritan Cycling has grown!  This year with the help of so many others, we can count over 200 riders that have been teammates, and so many more supporters!

Through the years we have persevered with the help of friends, family and teammates and this year Team Samaritan will eclipse the $2,000,000 mark for funds raised to help others less fortunate.

Our initial goal was to raise $6,500 and now we are going to be over $2,000,000

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THOSE LESS FORTUNATE!

SO -- Andre VanHall received his bionic knee (October 2022), and one month ago today I had my left hip replaced.  I hope to have my right one done before the end of 2024.  We are planning to continue to ride and help others!  

Once again, I’m inviting you to give, but only if you feel this is something that is right and if you are able.
