Samaritan Cycling

Ride The Rockies 2023

RAGBRAI 2023

6-8-2023

In 1 week, I will begin my 12th consecutive year riding for my health with the added benefit of raising money and awareness of the "Homelessness Situation". 

"The poor will always be with us"

I don’t care what anyone running for Denver mayor says – they were just buying votes!  But I digress…

For past supporters, Thanks to your generous contributions, Samaritan Cycling continues cranking on and we do change lives as time passes ....  just like homelessness.  

Don’t Bike, No Problem, I invite you to visit the shelters with me!

** Team Samaritan will also be volunteering to serve meals the third Friday of every month, so you don’t even need to ride a bike…  but you are still invited to ride a bike!  To volunteer for service here is the website:

Checkout  this video out that my nephew Adam Dawkins and other friends and family members put together two years ago as Tom Schwein and I accepted the award on behalf of all the volunteers:

SO -- Andre VanHall has received his bionic knee (October 2022), and we are planning to do RAGBRAI together in July 2023!  Tandem Power continuing to ride to 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.  Team Samaritan House now has expanded to:

Ø       Samatritan Cycling

Ø       Samaritan Runners

Ø       Samaritan Walkers

AND we will have a second annual GOLF tournament this fall

Feel free to join one of our teams if you would like to meet good people and to help others.

The need for help continues to grow and we have helped change lives one person at a time.  Slow and Steady, like I bike!

Anne and I will match every donation up to $5,000 this year, so your help will go further than you know.

If you want to pledge, THANK YOU.  If you want to support a specific shelter, or a specific cause, please do so. The homeless and the staff at the Shelters THANK YOU! Again, If you ever want to ride or take a tour of the shelters please let me know! Tom Dea ------ 303-882-3749

Thanks for your consideration and continual support!
