It’s been a busy week for RICH’S RIDE!
First, my handcycle was stolen from my garage on Tuesday (When Someone Steals). So lots of folks looked and prayed, and we attracted a bunch of media attention.
On Friday police found and returned it. I’m grateful to have it back, and even more grateful that nobody was harmed in the whole process.
However, the unexpected attention prompted many folks to ask how they might contribute to support our next adventure, a trip from Cincinnati to Washington, DC.
That’s right. RICH’S RIDE is hitting the road again.
Aaron Smith of Venture Cycling invited me to join a team for a 500-mile ride from Cincinnati to Washington, DC. The ride is sponsored by and raises awareness for International Justice Mission (IJM), which works within the legal system to heelp victims of illegal imprisonment, slavery, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation. Project dates are July 12-23, 2012, which includes some days for training and speaking and six actual riding days.
I’ll provide lots more details later. For now, if you’d like to contribute please go to this page. Please find my name under “participant name” to be certain your donation’s properly credited.
I can’t wait to get on the road again. The journey of hope continues.
