Hi Everyone
Wanted to let club members know of an event coming up Sept 1 - 15. It is a benefit for the "Share the Voice" foundation which is a local (Holbrook) charity that provides customized adaptive trikes for kids in need. These trikes are custom built for the particular challenges facing the rider and cost upwards of $2,000 each.
I participated in the event last year (Their first ever) as it was something worthwhile to do with all my pandemic riding. Anyone can sign up and ride as many miles as you can (or want) between the dates of the event. Its only $25.00 to sign up and of course they would love if you could raise additional contributions (Fixed or mileage-based) from friends and family. You can participate as an individual or create a team and use all your cycling miles to help out fellow cyclists with special needs
You can learn about this foundation here: SharetheVoice.org
You can see some of the trikes and the recipients here: https://www.sharethevoice.org/gallery
AND if you'd like you can sign-up here: https://events.elitefeats.com/butterflies21 (LOL they even included a picture of me on the registration page)
Lastly if you would rather just donate a few dollars to help out my donation page is here: https://grouprev.com/ChasingButterflies2021-john-accardo
Do something good with all those miles!
