Larry Dansinger's 2015 Hike and Bike

Help MaineShare reach new heights by supporting my ride.

I will be bicycling about 25 kilometers (about 15 miles) for MaineShare's annual Hike and Bike. Again this year, the Hike and Bike will not be a one-day event where a lot of people will drive a lot of miles so they can all bike and hike together. It will be a "Small Footprint" Hike and Bike, each bicycling with a few others or even by themselves but continuing the annual MaineShare Hike and Bike tradition. It will also require NO expenses, so EVERY dollar goes for MaineShare's operations and annual campaign.

You can pledge me for $25 ($1 per kilometer) or $15 ($1/mile) or any amount you can give.

You can also collect pledges yourself and/or come and hike or bike for about two hours. I'll tell you how to do it; contact me. Great fun and exercise. To find out more about MaineShare: www.maineshare.org.

Why raise money for MaineShare?

Your support can help MaineShare to raise funds this year for groups working on peace and justice (ROSC, Maine Peace Fund, Maine Civil Liberties Union), economic justice (Women, Work, and Community, Maine Equal Justice), the environment (MOFGA), health care (Consumers for Affordable Health Care), and other good causes (Holocaust and Human Rights Center, Equality Maine).

Because ROSC was an initiator of MaineShare and a founding member, we have a special affection for its work in supporting root cause organizations in Maine. I hope you are a donor to MaineShare and its member groups and will want to make a pledge for the Hike and Bike.

Thanks for any support you can give to MaineShare (and for the support you have given to ROSC/INVERT over the years)!
