Hello friends and family!
This year I will ride 32 miles, up from 5k last year in the 40th El Tour de Tucson bike event. The Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports (SAAS) is a critical partner with me this year. The goal; be as fit as I can be through adaptive sports.
I am realizing my goals. I participated in the National Veteran Wheelchair Games (NVWG) in July where I received multiple medals. As many of you know, I am now on the Los Lobos traveling wheelchair basketball team. SAAS loaned me the handcycle I will be riding in the El Tour in November. My experiences pale in comparison to the full spectrum of support and activities SAAS provides to this underserved community. It is through love and acceptance this community supports its members. Would you please help me return the favor to this amazing program through generous donations? Our difabled (differently abled) community is counting on your support.
Join me in raising funds for Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports (SAAS)! Please consider making a donation through this link. Your donations will go to the SAAS Eduardo Aguirre Adaptive Cycling Center and Fund to provide more opportunities for people with disabilities to enjoy cycling.
By riding in El Tour de Tucson, I am committing to improving my physical and mental health. Please join me! Thank you for your support.
