HI! Thanks for visiting. This Fall, I plan to ride a century. I've attempted this twice before but my plans were derailed by injuries. The third time and the magic of Cape Cod is hopefully the charm. While riding the century - the Second Summer Cycle - I will raise money for an incredible organization called WE CAN.
WE CAN's mission to empower and support women to build pathways to stability and self-sufficiency. For more than 20 years, WE CAN has supported women on Cape Cod who are navigating life transitions including job loss and career development; divorce or loss of a spouse; legal and immigration issues; debt and financial stability; and other personal growth opportunities.
Your donation to my ride will ensure that WE CAN continues to offer free and confidential services, including legal consultation, career and work support, financial empowerment, business support, mentoring and personal development programs.
Every dollar counts so I very much appreciate anything you're able to contribute.
Many thanks,
Jen
