Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you so much for helping me raise much needed funds to support those unfortunate souls who are homeless in Colorado!

While we're making great progress, such as building Colorado's largest women's only homeless shelter, there's still much work ahead.  That is why I continue to support the Samaritan House, and am honored to ride for the 5th consecutive year with Team Samaritan House (TSH) in the 2021 Ride the Rockies!

On June 13 - 19, I'll join my TSH mates to cycle almost 500 miles throughout western Colorado, and climb several challenging summits totaling over 28,000 feet. To date, TSH has raised over $1.2M for Samaritan House to provide shelter, meals, clothing and services to help rebuild lives and restore dignity for the homeless of Colorado.

Your contributions continue to support the Samaritan House shelters in metro Denver that provide one-night shelter and short-term stay for men, women and families, and also serve expectant mothers, single women, and single women with children. Samaritan House's ultimate goal is to help residents become self-reliant by providing needed individualized assistance.

The Samaritan House shelters currently serve over 5,000 homeless in metro Denver. Of those served, 34% are women, and 14% are veterans. Every year, Samaritan house serves over 500,000 meals, provides 200,000 nights of shelter, and 714 job placements.

My motivation for this ride is, and will be, knowing the difference we can make in the lives of those less fortunate. Each dollar raised will truly change the lives of the individuals and families who call these shelters home.  

Thank you so much for your continued support.

Dave
