April is National Child Abuse Awareness month, so this Saturday I’ll have the privilege of cycling for abused children in the annual Tour de OC Bike-A-Thon, which raises funds for girls and boys to attend Royal Family Kids Camp. RFKC is a program designed for children aged 6-12 who’ve survived abuse, where they’re sponsored, mentored, and given a camp experience to help in their growth and healing.
For years now, our family has volunteered for the Bike-A-Thon by hosting rest stops where riders can get snacks and water. But during last year’s event, I promised my wife and sons that I’d put my own rear on the line – on the seat, actually – and do some riding myself.
Time to pay up. I’m starting small – 25 miles – but every mile helps get a kid the love and direction she or he deserves, because we’re riding to raise funds. And that’s why your help in this is so needed, and appreciated! If you’d like to donate any amount, large or small, to this effort, just click here to send me on my way this Saturday, and sponsor this effort. You can find all the information needed about Royal Family Kids Camp on their website, and I really think, after reading what they’re all about, you’ll agree their work is well worth supporting.
Thanks so much for considering this! (Oh, and, uh, prayers for this old carcass are appreciated, too.)
