I'm fundraising on behalf of the 2022 Sac Century Challenge on October 1st to raise money for the Sacramento Children's Home Crisis Nursery and I could use your support. 

As you know, I am a proud Rotarian supporting this event for many years. This year is even more meaningful for me as I am dedicating my fundraising efforts  in memory of my father who passed away in early April. My father was a life long bike rider, riding every day as far back as I can remember, even during winters when we lived in Columbia MO or Evanston IL. My first memory of riding with my dad was a bike ride with his bike riding club from San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge, to Sausalito and back. Needless to say, I couldn't keep up with the rest of the club riders but he was patient with me and happy to have me join him.

The Sacramento Children's Home Crisis Nursery is the only program of its kind in Sacramento County and directly prevents child abuse and neglect by supporting families with small children at times of crisis. The nursery allows parents to bring their children ages newborn to five for emergency hourly or overnight care during difficult times, with the goal of keeping families together and reducing the number of children entering foster care. To care for our community's most vulnerable children, the Children's Home relies on support from community members like you. By donating, you empower them to provide a safe haven for children throughout the Sacramento area, offering respite to parents during times of crisis, and build a strong support system for the future. Your support helps provide a safe place to stay for kids who need it most.

Please join me as a donor or join the event as a rider. The funds raised support a one of a kind community support group.
