In 2016, my life changed forever when my family experienced an unimaginable loss. In the years that followed, Sharing Kindness grew out of that experience and I am so unbelievably proud of what it has become.
Over the last ten years, I’ve learned that grief is not something any of us experience just once and leave behind. Time and time again, I have watched people I love experience devastating loss, and I have been incredibly grateful to be able to say: I know somewhere you can go.
That place is Sharing Kindness.
This September, I’m riding in the Second Summer Cycle as a personal challenge and an opportunity to raise money for an organization I’ve been part of since the beginning.
Your donation stays right here on Cape Cod, supporting local staff and programs serving people across the Cape and Islands who are navigating grief, loss, and trauma, while also supporting behavioral health education, prevention, community crisis response, and grief literacy.
Thank you for supporting my ride and an organization that means so much to me. ??
Sharing Kindness - Second Summer Cycle
Overview
The Second Summer Cycle is the perfect event for riders of all levels, offering a picturesque journey through 8 historic Cape Cod towns and a strong committment to rider safety. Four distances are being offered, 15, 30, 60, and 100 miles. The start and finish is at beautiful Smugglers Beach in South Yarmouth where there will be a Finish Line Celebration from 12PM-4PM, including local beer, food trucks and live music.
Beneficiaries
18 Local non profits will benefit from the monies generated by the riders, each of whom is asked to raise at least $250 for their non-profit of choice, or to be disseminated across all participating charities, in addition to the registration fee.
Hosted by: Second Summer Cycle, Inc, a 501c3, non-profit organization.
