194,567 homeless veterans
Our nation has an average of 194,567 homeless veterans sleeping on the streets. As a nation I feel it is our turn to take care of those who have selflessly given of themselves to help our country.
700 MILES
I am asking for your help in this endeavor. I will partake on a 700-mile road cycling journey that will start in Auburn, Washington and end in Dallas, Texas. My goal is to raise money and awareness to assist veterans in need.
Ride With Us
If you have clicked on this tab, then we consider ourselves blessed knowing that there are fellow riders who believe in this cause as much as we do. The Ride Home is an incredibly small organization. We are diligently holding fundraiser’s, taking in donations, and applying for Grant’s throughout the year to help build capital to make this 700-mile ride as comfortable as possible.
We are partnering with Holiday Inn for room accommodations, YEP Strength (LLC) if you are looking for specified diet plan in preparation for the event, and The Feed for our nutrition while on the ride. Understandably, this will cost a good bit of money.
The Ride Home will be able to help with some of the costs but obviously, we cannot cover all of them. This is where your dedication to this cause comes into play. We are asking for the interested riders to seek donations and sponsorship within your communities to help along the way. For example, Rider A collects $1200 in two years leading up to the event. The funding they receive will be used towards the rider’s food, lodging, and expenses along the way. Once in Dallas, the remaining funds will be added to the overall donated amount to be distributed to the various homeless shelters and or purchases to help the homeless.
We will have corporate room rates through Holiday Inn, dedicated nutrition packs from The Feed, and riding kits courtesy of Jakroo USA.
The entrance Fee for the event is $200.00 per rider. This fee will cover insurance for the riders at $8 per day, 1 Helmet, 2 water bottles, 1 T-shirt, and your dedicated challenge coin. At check in, you will receive your helmet, t-shirt, and water bottles. Coins will be shipped to you directly as they will be engraved with your names. Jakroo will have a shop built for the foundation that you can order your riding kit through.
To reduce the possibility of fraud, we will ask that the funding you raise be placed into a dedicated account that will not interfere with your personal affairs. Paypal offers a debit card or prepaid cards can be obtained through your local banking centers.
We also ask that riders only ride what you are comfortable doing. Do not push yourself further than you are able too. We need to be responsible throughout this endeavor. I myself will have a full physical prior to the event.
