Friends and Family,
Many of you know last year was all about completing my first Ironman, it was a lot focusing on me! This year is about a year of giving and supporting charities like The Marine League Charities.They sponsor Toys for Tots, Flagstaff youth programs, Wounded Marine Program and Marine Relief. All are worthy causes!
In addition to riding my mountain bike 65 miles through the tall pines and grasslands of Northern Arizona on August 6th, I'm hoping to raise at least $700.00 for the Marine League Charities. No amount is too small! You can give with any major credit card and it only takes 30 seconds.
Thank you for supporting me!

2022 Flagstaff to Grand Canyon Charity Ride
On Saturday, August 6th, 200+ brave souls will ride their mountain bikes 65 miles along the Moqui Stagecoach trail that used to connect Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. Why? Well, the Flag2GC charity ride has been raising money for the Marine League Charities (MLC) since 1998. Since then, we've raised almost $1 million - enabling Toys for Tots (T4T) to provide toys, books, and stocking stuffers to more than 10,000 children in Northern Arizona each year. In addition to Toys for Tots, proceeds from this event allows MLC to fund the Flagstaff Youth Program, Wounded Marine Program, as well as a Scholarship Fund for Coconino Community College.
The Marine League Charities is an Arizona not-for-profit charitable corporation organized for the purpose of supporting charities including those organized to assist children of Northern Arizona and those charities benefiting members of the U.S. Armed Forces.
In accordance with our mission statement, Marine League Charities (MLC) supports and funds the following local charities:
· Flagstaff Community Toys for Tots
· Flagstaff Youth Program
· Wounded Marine Program
· Marine Relief
· Coconino Community College Scholarship Fund
