The 2016 Cycle of Service is quickly approaching, beginning on 4/22. While the three day, 300 mile ride seems daunting, I can guarantee that you will be happy after the ride! Here are 4 reasons why:
-
Your fundraising will break the cruel cycle of poverty for a fellow Alabamian. Too many people choose between their home upkeep and food, or clothes, or health care. Funds that you contribute and raise will go toward home repair, relieving a significant burden for low income families. That should put a smile on your face.
-
You will help educate others about housing problems in Alabama. Did you know that 35% of Alabamians live below the poverty level? As you fund-raise and talk to friends and family, you are part of bridging the knowledge gap about poverty in Alabama. Spreading the word will encourage involvement and create momentum to eliminate poverty.
-
You will be happy as you get to meet and know incredible people. Pedaling almost 7 hours a day with your fellow riders creates a natural camaraderie that will bind a friendship. In addition, the hosts are great people who selflessly serve meals and provide a place to spend the night.
-
A big smile will come over your face when you realize that you rode a bicycle 300 miles in 3 days, across the state of Alabama. Not too many people can boast that accomplishment.
