As if the goal of bicycling across the country isn't enough, I have another goal attached to it. I hope to raise $25,000 to support the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. Their work to combat childhood obesity is aligned to my business's mission to: Create places of health and well-being where kids can win through education. I encourage you to make a donation here because you truly believe that healthy kids learn better and our children lives are improved as a result of the Alliance's efforts.
Nearly 1 in 3 kids in the United States is overweight or obese, and our current generation could become the first in American history to live shorter lives than their parents.
Team Healthier Generation is a fundraising team created to motivate and support endurance and athletic event participants. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation approaches its work to end childhood obesity with the same determination and commitment it takes to complete an endurance event. All funds raised by Team Healthier Generation support the Alliance's goal -- to reduce the nationwide prevalence of childhood obesity, and to empower kids to make healthy lifestyle choices.
In-Kind Donations for Road to Rhode:
Patti Bateman, Graphic designer- Patti has donated many in-kind hours above and beyond my initial budget to design Road to Rhode's identity, including logo. Thank you Patti!
Michael Sylvester at Bicycle Fitting Services who has not only fit my bike to my body and riding style quite perfectly, but who has spent hours with me giving me riding advice, tool/equipment and clothing advice and has even helped me order gear and my trailer. You are amazing and your support means the world to me!
Dr. Ray McClanahan at Northwest Foot & Ankle not only provided me great modifications for my bike shoe to further support my left foot which was bothering me a little bit, but his visit was complimentary as a donation to my trip! WOW! Didn't expect that and I highly recommend Dr. McClanahan if you are in need of a smart, professional, engaged, passionate podiatrist!
