2017 NOLA to Angola Bike Ride

Hey y'all,

This is my third year riding in Nola to Angola and I'd love to have your support! 

Nola to Angola is an annual three-day, 170-mile bicycle ride fundraiser. We ride from Orleans Parish Prison in New Orleans to Angola, the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Each rider (that's me!) raises money by soliciting sponsorships from family and friends (that's you!). All of the funds raised support the Cornerstone Builders Bus Project, which sends free buses every month for family members to visit their incarcerated loved ones (riders pay a registration fee which covers all support costs so every dollar goes right to Cornerstone).

Last year, I raised $1465, which funds an entire bus from New Orleans and 2 four-person families. This year, I'm aiming high and hoping to raise $2400, which would fund TWO whole buses roundtrip from New Orleans. 

The ride has grown from about a dozen riders to 50-60 of us, and it continues to expand each year, raising $25,000 – $30,000 for Cornerstone annually. This has enabled Cornerstone to send a full schedule of buses, to develop long-term sustainability, and to expand their services to Shreveport.

Thanks so much for supporting the NTA ride and my fundraising!
