DONATE Ohhh, to be a young family with just a regular kind of life... How lucky am I to have so much in my life. My profile picture is my 'Florida Family'! They are happy, healthy, sheltered, fed, employed, have transportation, basic needs covered, like most of you reading this. They wake in the sunshine protected with a roof over their head, food in their fridge, clothes to get dressed into and safe spaces to travel. I love these guys, and the charities that we fundraise for today. I ask that when you're considering supporting these local charities, to think of the many people locally who don't have the simple things that many of us take for granted everyday and, how many people we have the opportunity to help create a better, brighter future and to join us in becoming another contributing, productive and proud member of our community, just like YOU.
These 4 local non-profit agencies work tirelessly, unselfishly and for the benefit of others EVERY day of their lives. Imagine what things might be like for families in need without these agencies and without the PEOPLE. The Steeple Chase Bike Tour 2024 celebrates it's 33rd year of FUN and SERVICE. Please join me in supporting these great non-profit agencies!!
