Hello Friends,

I’m setting out on my annual weeklong fundraising bike ride.  This year it’s back to Colorado in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.   We’ll start in Crested Butte and traverse 300 miles over 5 days through Buena Vista, Salida, Gunnison, The Black Canyon, and back to Crested Buttte.  The ride starts Monday August 10 and finishes on the 14.  Once again, I’ll be peddling with my teammates from Samaritan Cycling! We are a community of individuals that love to get outdoors, cycle, and experience the beauty of Colorado. Beyond cycling, we share the common mission to support the Samaritan House Homeless Shelters located along the front range in northern Colorado. 

Homelessness is a never ending and complex problem in our society.  As I learn more about homelessness, I’ve come to understand there is no easy answer or one single solution.  Samaritan House is just one of the many organizations that offer loving unquestioning support for those in need.   It is more than a shelter, offering education and programs that help get its members back into society through work placement and housing.  In addition, the Samaritan House operates the largest women’s shelter in Denver. 

My goal is to raise $1500 in support of the Samaritan House Homeless Shelter. Your kind donation will help break the cycle of homelessness by funding shelters, providing food, clothing, life skill classes, and aiding support groups.

 I truly appreciate your financial support! Donate what you can. Any amount helps!
