I'm Riding to Make a Difference – Join Me!
On September 12th, I'll be riding in the 3rd annual Marlowe Challenge, supporting the Marlowe Foundation in its mission to empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to live proudly and confidently as themselves. I do not love biking, but when I think about the challenges someone like Marlowe Roge faces on a daily basis I'm inspired to push myself through the long ride with a smile on my face. This is how Marlowe faces each and every day of her life- so how could I refuse to do anything different?!
Funds raised through the Challenge go directly to local, aligned organizations leading the way in creating opportunities for people with IDD to thrive. The foundation website highlights what we have been able to accomplish over the past couple of years, but we have so much more to do and we need your help.
How You Can Help
Your donation, no matter the amount, will make a lasting impact. Please help me reach my fundraising goal—and be part of changing a life.
Thank you so much for your support!
The 2026 Marlowe Challenge
The Marlowe Challenge – September 12, 2026
Choose your challenge: 100 or 50 miles through the best of Massachusetts cycling. Departing from the quiet, tree-lined campus of the Fenn School in Concord, this ride rolls through historic Revolutionary War country, climbs the apple-orchard hills of Worcester County, and tackles the iconic summit of Mt. Wachusett before returning to Concord for a celebratory finish line. All riders have a $1,000 fundraising goal.
The ride benefits The Marlowe Foundation, which directly funds local and regional organizations empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), turning grants and partnerships into real opportunities.
The Marlowe Foundation empowers people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to live proudly and confidently as themselves. We believe the opportunity to thrive is a human right — and that belief drives our vision: an accepting world without boundaries for people with IDD. Our mission is to advance that change, big or small, by directing funds to local, aligned organizations leading the way in creating opportunities for people with IDD to thrive.
