Welcome to my fundraising page! I am very excited to raise money for Beads of Courage because it is a cause I believe in.
This will be my 3rd time riding for Team Beads of Courage! Beads of Courage is so important to me as I have seen how the program directly impacts children and families going through some of life's most challenging times while I was a child life specialist in the hospital setting in Pittsburgh, PA. These little beads have come full circle in my life. Now, as the Beads of Courage program director, I am seeing its impact globally!
Check out this video to learn how Beads of Courage supports the patients and families at UC Davis in California. We currently have 181 hospitals participating and we grow each month.
The past 2 years have been daunting and challenging for everyone. Non-profit organizations such as Beads of Courage, need your support now more than ever. Any type of contribution helps...there is nothing too big or too small!
I appreciate the time you took to read about this fundraiser. Whether or not you can donate, please feel free to share it with any of your friends, family, or organizations that may wish to contribute.
Thank you for supporting my RIDE FOR COURAGE with your donation today or by simply sharing the campaign with a friend!
Sincerely,
Krista
