Thanks for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. This summer I'll be riding the Courage Classic with a team from the Harmon Bicycle Club.  The Courage Classic is a 3-day bicycle ride through 3 mountain passes that raises money for Child Abuse Prevention programs in Pierce County and Washington.  100% of every donation goes directly to the cause and helps to supprt services that are available at no cost to any abused or maltreated child and family in Pierce County.  They need our help!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to the cause.  My personal goal is to raise $1500, and our team goal is $50,000. In order to meet these goals, I'm willing to beef up the challenge if you're willing to beef up your donation! Do you think I can ride through three mountain passes on the monster bike pictured here? How about pledging fifty cents per pound of bike?  Regardless of the amount, thank you for your support.

Please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too. Cheers!

UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming support of my friends, family, and employer, I have raised my personal goal to $3,500.  Thanks for the many comments and suggestions on making this ride even more challenging!
