Hello Family and Friends!
I'm excited to share that I've signed up to ride in the 2026 Second Summer Cycle on September 13, 2026, in Yarmouth, MA, to benefit Family Table Collaborative (FTC).
I've been volunteering with FTC for almost four years, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. FTC's mission is to end hunger and advance nutritional security on Cape Cod by providing healthy, prepared meals and nutrition education to anyone in need—no questions asked.
Through innovative food rescue, community partnerships, and a dedicated team of volunteers, FTC transforms surplus food into nourishing meals while reducing food waste. Nothing goes to waste—unused food is donated for animal feed or composted. Their motto says it all: "Healthy people build healthy communities."
I'm asking for your support by making a pledge to help me reach my fundraising goal for this ride. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps Family Table Collaborative continue providing nutritious meals and hope to our neighbors across Cape Cod.

Thank you so much for supporting me and this truly worthy cause. Your generosity will make a real difference in the lives of so many people in our community.
With gratitude,
Gail
