Hello friends and family - welcome and thank you for visiting my fundraising page! As I prepare to embark on my sixth Sandy Hook Ride on Washington, I am overwhelemed by the support my friends and family have provided over the years. It means so much, and now more than ever.
I ride alongside the rest of Team 26 for sensible gun laws, campus safety, and non-violence. Most of all, I ride to serve. My cousin Reema Samaha was tragically killed during the mass shooting at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007. I miss her dearly. People handle tragedy differently, and I am simply trying to make her proud. What is most important to me is staying positive and creating meaningful change in order to prevent similar tragedies in the future. I dedicate much of my life to Reema by advocating for campus safety and non-violence. Whether it is organizing the annual charity ride, attending a candlelight vigil, or something as simple as spending more time with my own sister Adrienne, I serve Reema and her everlasting memory.
Thanks again for your support and contributions. Ride on!

Sandy Hook Ride on Washington
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.
