Thank you for visiting or fundraising page for the first Home to Home Foundation benefit ride!
This event marks the last charity ride for the 2008 Team PhyLogic Charity Cycling Team - and it could not be for a better cause! The Home to Home Foundation was created to help residents in long term care facilities. Residents in long term care facilities often lose touch with the world outside of the institution in which they reside. The Home-to-Home Foundation finds special events that will appeal to residents, and with time, positively influence residents’ life skills through renewed spirit.The Home to Home Foundation is a non-profit organization established to enhance the quality of life for residents in long-term care facilities by providing increased human contact and social activities through volunteer programs. As the population of Connecticut ages, more and more of its residents are spending longer periods of time in nursing facilities. Dr. Richard Silverman, a pulmonologist and founder of the Foundation realized, while working in area nursing facilities, that the first budget cuts always affect the recreation department. Dr. Silverman has made a commitment to finding areas of interest to these residents and providing them with personalized sources of stimulation. His vision is accomplished through volunteers who visit nursing homes on a regular basis and through donations of recreational supplies.
The ride was originally planned as a 100 Mile ride (or century), but had to be reduced to 100K because of several injuries to team members as our competition and charity schedule comes to an end this season. We appreciate your understanding and know it will not affect your kind generosity for a great organization. Team PhyLogic and the Home to Home Foundation Thanks You in advance for your kind contribution!
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
