Dear Family and Friends,

This year marks my 12th year raising funds for Team Samaritan House (TSH) — every dollar we raise directly supports the Samaritan House in downtown Denver, a shelter dedicated to helping individuals and families experiencing homelessness, regardless of age, background, or beliefs.

Over the years, I’ve also volunteered at the Samaritan House and have seen firsthand how deeply they care for those they serve. From meals and shelter to counseling and case management, the Samaritan House helps people rebuild their lives, secure employment, and transition into permanent housing.

While the 2024 Ride the Rockies was unfortunately canceled, I’ll be joining fellow TSH riders on several other cycling challenges in 2025 to raise awareness and support. Some of these include:

• Colorado’s Ride (5-day ride through Durango and Pagosa Springs) – coloradosride.com
• Tour of the Moon – Grand Junction, CO
• Stonewall Century – La Vita, CO
• Denver Century Ride- Denver, CO.

These rides are physically demanding, but the cause keeps me motivated — providing hope and a second chance for those who need it most.

We all know the issue of homelessness can feel overwhelming, but organizations like the Samaritan House make a tangible, daily difference. They serve families with children, veterans, and individuals, offering not just a place to stay, but a path forward.

I invite you to join me in supporting their mission. Any donation — $5, $10, $50, $500 or more — truly makes a difference.
