Hello all,
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the 2018 Sandy Hook Ride on Washington. This cause has continuously been growing in importance and I would appreciate any donations you can send. Please share this page and help me be able to participate in this important opportunity.
Why I ride With Team 26;
I have been fortunate enough to grow up in an area where I thought I did not need to worry about my safety regarding gun violence and other dangers. However, I have grown up in a world with increasing gun violence and because of this, it has become almost impossible to still confidentaly say that you live in an area immune to violence. I am fully aware of people who live their everyday lives in fear due to the epidemic of gun violence. I ride to raise awareness of this ever-growing issue. I ride with the hope that children like me will not have to live in fear. I ride so that in the future, people will not be oppressed by the fear of not returning home safe and sound. I ride with the hope that everyone can be fortunate enough to live in a safe and peaceful world.

Sandy Hook Ride on Washington
For the 6th time, 26 cyclists will ride to honor the 26 killed at the Sandy Hook School and all victims of gun violence, to raise awareness of the public health crisis of gun violence, and to support common sense measures to reduce it. We will ride Newtown, Connecticut to Washington, D.C. from May 5 to May 8, 2018 Our ride will take us towards and through states that are working to reduce gun violence. Until members of the Congress do their jobs and pass laws to make Americans safer instead of offering thoughts and prayers for victims, we will continue to ride.
