Hello and thanks for visiting my sponsorship page.
I am excited to be riding again in the Agony ride. This is my fourth year riding. The ride is the single biggest fundraiser for Christian Encounter Ministries. The event takes place in the Sierra Valley above Truckee, Ca. Many people from riders to support personal come together with an explosion of effort and focus. It is an uplifting and powerful event full of love, kindness and encouragement.
Christian Encounter Ministries help kids who are in big trouble. Some have been abused, abandoned or got caught up in drugs and alcohol. They may experiencing mental illness and depression. Most of us have seen or may know someone personally who has struggled with some of these problems. The bottom line is they need help from a group of people who are all in. We all want better communities and healthier lives for young people. Join me in putting love into action. Let's help some kids. When you sponsor me as a rider in the Agony Ride we both have skin in the game. If you believe in the power of Jesus to save than we will also be adding to our own eternal reward that moth and rust cannot corrupt.
This year I have increased my goal to ride 375 miles. I have a new used bike so I am excited about that. In the past my spirit was willing but my body was wreaked my saddle sores and extreme pain in my feet. I do not know if I can do it. It will be difficult. I will start training soon.
Love is a purposeful commitment to sacrificial action for another. Love involves action. It has nothing to do with you. It is not about you.
Are you in?
