Riding for Refugees

September 29, 2009

This Saturday Amy and I are participating in a Ride for Refugees.  I did my first concentrated work with refugees when I was living in midtown Memphis and much of Amy’s current work has to do with refugees around the world.  Helping people to become aware of the great needs of refugees here in the states and around the world as well as providing what assistance we can are things we both care about deeply.  We’re hoping that you’ll help us by making a pledge to our ride, no matter the amount.  I am planning to ride 30 miles, further than I have ever biked before and Amy will probably do 15 as she wants to get back sooner to help with other things that need done during the event.

You can see the details of the Ride for Refugees here.

You can visit out pledge page here.

The Facebook Fan page is here.

If you’re a Twitterer, you can follow here.

Thanks for checking it out and for your help.  I’ll try to throw up some pictures and thoughts on the event next week.
