Story
I have ridden in all but two of the ADEC Ride-a-Bike fundraising events which began in 1972. This year's event was cancelled and replaced with "Picture Possibilities" to observe CDC guidelines for COVID-19.
I decided that my Picture Possibilities event would be to again ride my bike. This took place on Tuesday June 23rd. I rode from Goshen to Middlebury to Shipshewana and back for a total of 36 miles.
July holds a very special day of celebration. On July 26th our country celebrates the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This Act and its revisions have made it so that our friends with disabilities have access to informed choices and greater possibilities in their lives. That is something to celebrate! That's why ADEC will be hosting a virtual event, Picture Possibilities, which will invite all our friends, families, and supporters to join in weekly challenges, shared accomplishments, and celebrated possibilities!This is an opportunity for us to celebrate possibilities, while supporting our neighbors with intellectual and developmental disabilities so that they can overcome challenges and live more fulfilled lives. Every dollar from my fundraiser will support ADEC's underfunded but vital programs like family services, transportation, and skills training for young adults with disabilities.Your support helps make a difference in our communities!
