Best Buddies Challenge Ride

Involvement with Best Buddies (www.bestbuddies.com) has been a life changing event for my sons and ultimately my family.

On May 30, 2009, my family will do an extraordinary thing (at least for us!). We will be traveling to Hyannis Port, MA and will ride our trikes for at least 50 miles in the Audi Best Buddies Hyannis Port Challenge in support of the 250 million people living with intellectual disabilities. The ride will be physically challenging, but the reward will be like none-other; the chance of a life-time to change the life of another, while positively changing our own.

Please "join" us on this ride by making a donation to support the cause. I would appreciate your support on this endeavor. Every donation will be critical. Please share with anyone that you think might be interested. In order to ride, we need to reach our fundraising goal of $3,500. Any amount you can give will ensure Best Buddies continues to provide critical services and job integration for people with intellectual disabilities. And, your donation is tax deductable!

We choose to ride for Best Buddies because 100% of the funds raised will go directly to their programs. Which means any contribution you give for our challenge directly affects the lives of those living with intellectual disabilities. Best Buddies is a non-profit organization founded by Anthony Kennedy Shriver in 1989, dedicated to helping people with intellectual disabilities form friendships and find jobs in their community. The Audi Best Buddies Challenge events are a strong symbol of the lasting friendships and open community that Best Buddies fosters throughout their programs.

Here is how you can donate: You can donate easily and securely by clicking on our personal fundraising webpage link located below.

We will also be posting updates & information on our blog at www.trikeland.com.

We are so excited to participate in this ride! With each day, we train harder and longer. With each dollar you donate, you bring us one more mile closer to our goal. Thank you in advance for your generous support!
