What You Can Do “TO HELP STOP CHILD ABUSE”

2009 Courage Classic Bicycle Tour

I am just one of over 700 cyclists who will ride 174 miles, over our 3 mountain passes for the 2009 Courage Classic Bicycle Tour benefiting the Rotary Endowment for the Intervention and Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Together with Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital – Tacoma, WA, they ensure that no child or their family will ever be turned away in the case of sexual assault or abuse.

Please join me to “STOP CHILD ABUSE”

I accept the physical challenge of cycling over Snoqualmie, Blewett and Stevens Pass; in 3 days, riders will travel 174 miles for your support. Your tax-deductible donation sponsoring my ride in the Courage Classic would be tremendously appreciated. You can safely make your online contribution on my personal fundraising page:
