I have rallied around a lot of causes in the past twelve months. Rallied around these causes with you. Together, we raised funds for Hope Lives! The Lydia Dody Breast Cancer Foundation throughout the month of October. In a partnership with Mad Alchemy, a portion of the proceeds from your purchases of my signature embrocation benefited Animal House Help.
I selected these causes and asked you to put your dollars behind them because I truly consider them deserving. I believe these organizations effectively leverage each dollar to make a genuine impact.
I’m at it again — and again, I look towards you to join me in sending a critical message and funding an important cause.
Bikes Belong.
This is the message that we can support together when I ride to DC with Tim Johnson’s Ride on Washington for the National Bike Summit.
Bikes Belong.
This is the organization that we support through donations to The Bikes Belong Foundation in conjunction with the ride to the summit.
Bikes Belong is one of the most effective non-profits in America. It manages to convert every dollar it receives into $1,800 in government funding for bike paths, bike lanes, bike programs and bike facilities. Visit www.bikesbelong.org for more information.
With your help, I hope to raise $1,000 for Bikes Belong. Together, the participants of Bike On Washington have set a goal of raising $100,000. Bikes Belong can convert these funds into $180 million in government funding. This funding promotes initiatives and programs in communities across the nation that provide access to the necessary resources that allow each of us to ride our bikes safely.

Thanks in advance for your (as always!) incredible generosity.
