How lucky am I to have a beautiful granddaughter (see profile picture) that wakes up every day without a care in the world. She has a roof over her head (shelter), clothes on her back and easy access to food (basic needs). Not every kid is that lucky. I love this kid and the charities that we fundraise for today and ask that when you're considering supporting these local charities, to think of the many children 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 become a functioning, contributing, productive and proud member of our communuty.
These 3 local non-profit agnecies work tirelessly, unselfishly and for the benfit 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 2021 celebrates it's 30th year of FUN and SERVICE. Please join me in supporting these great non-profit agencies!!
