THANK YOU!!
Thanks to all of you who donated to this campaign! Including the offline donations of checks you sent, you’ve helped me raise more than $11,000!
Special thanks to those of you who don't live in the Chicago area for supporting my cycling campaign: Thanks for confirming how important this work is.
The work Between Friends does is so well respected that other organizations want to learn how we do what we do! Your donations help the staff continue their unique work. Helping to end the cycle of violence anywhere is helping to do so everywhere!!
Thanks again!
Domestic violence is an issue that is very close to my heart, and even more so during October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
I’m proud to be a supporter and board member of Between Friends, a Chicagoland nonprofit agency dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic violence. Through a 24-hour helpline, counseling, and legal assistance, Between Friends provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals and families in crisis, while educating communities as part of the movement to end domestic violence. All free of charge because of our donations!
To ensure they can continue to meet the needs of domestic violence survivors, regardless their gender, race, beliefs, nationality, or ability, Between Friends is aiming to raise $80,000 by the end of October in a campaign called “It Takes A Friend.”
I’m raising money to help them, and you can help me do it!
Given that we aren't meeting for fundraising in person this year, I'd like to 'earn' your support in another way: I'm planning to ride my bicycle 200 miles (or more!) during October and I'd like you to sponsor me as I work to raise $8,000.
If you decide to pledge an amount per mile, let me know in the comment section below, and this encourages me to ride more! You can make a donation of any amount any time during October.
Do you want to ride with me? Let me know in the comment section. I have cool weather gear and will ride unless the weather is really awful. I'll post progress pictures of my bike computer, too!
I hope you participate in my cycling to end the cycle of violence by making a donation today or even joining this fundraising team yourself! Thanks in advance!
