In 24 days I will be riding in the Etape de Tour starting from Montélimar (Drôme) to the Mont Ventoux summit, after 172 km or about 107 miles and four climbing stages villa (Côte de Citelle, Col d'Ey, Col de Fontaube, Col de Notre-Damede Sabeilles) ending in the of village Mont Serein. It is the same stage that riders will travel in the Tour de France.
Since I am realizing a lifelong dream I want to help others realize their dreams too. That is why I am going to raise money for Reach Out and Read as part of my ride. Reading is so important and with the tough economic times non-profits are getting hit hard. There is less federal and state money. People have less money to donate as well. I hope you will sponsor my ride and all the proceeds will go to Reach Out and Read.
Reach Out and Read is a national, nonprofit organization that promotes early literacy by making books a routine part of pediatric care so children grow up with books and a love of reading. Just like I did...
I have been training for a while now but thought you might be interested to know what happens in the last 24 days.
