Many of you have already heard about our participation in Cycling for Change (C4C), a nationwide bike ride to bring awareness to the issue of poverty in America.  What you may not know is our CEO, Jason Christensen, will be participating in this 5,000 mile bike ride in 100 days, from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  We hope you will support him in this endeavor by sponsoring him with a flat donation or an amount per mile.   All proceeds will go to the Marian House Poverty Reduction Programs.

We already have a page on this website that is dedicated to the C4C ride.  Check back often for updates on plans and progress.  Jason will be blogging and vlogging about his experiences on the journey.  You will be able to see these just by clicking on Jason’s blog link below, or from the Cycling for Change web page.   We also just launched our own Facebook page:

Check it out and become a fan!  When Jason and the national team of 12 riders arrive in Colorado, we will meet them in Castle Rock with our two-day Independence from Poverty ride.  It will begin on July 7th from Colorado Springs with a metric century to Castle Rock where participants will have dinner and spend the night.  The next day, July 8th, the national team and the local Independence from Poverty riders will return to Colorado Springs  after breakfast, ending up at America the Beautiful Park for the Independence from Poverty Community Celebration from about 3pm to 8pm.  Plans include having beverages and food, along with several bands.  On July 8th, there will also be a Family Fun ride beginning at the Marian House, continuing through Monument Valley Park, ending up at the Independence from Poverty Community Celebration.
