Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
Paige as well as other children have benefitted from this charity. Paige has received financial assistance for a handicap accessible van and she will also be getting a Sleep-Safe bed.
Last year Paige's PEEPS raised more than $6000 and was in the top 20 for total miles! Most of all Paige had a great time watching team sweat for her charity!
The event
Teams of ten cyclists compete against each other riding for 25-minute intervals with a five-minute break to change riders. The name of the game is fun, so you don't have to be Tour de France caliber to enter. Plenty of contestants will need to take frequent breaks during their 25 minutes of cycling.
- Every entrant receives a GABR T-shirt and will be entered into a drawing for additional prizes.
- The team that bikes the most miles and the team that raises the most money will receive special prizes.
- The cyclist who bikes the most miles and the cyclist who raises the most money will each receive a special prize.
- Lunch will be sold at the race. Proceeds from lunch sales go to GABR.
- Celebrity cyclists will join us throughout the day.

The cause
A family who has a child with even a mild form of cerebral palsy has many expenses above and beyond what their insurance will cover. In 2008, GABR donated dollars funded:
- $39,547 for therapy services
- $38,202 for orthotics and equipment
- $12,000 for travel reimbursement
- $39,719 for wheelchairs and accessories
- $61,312 for home and vehicle adaptations
In total, 133 requests for funds were granted by the GABR disbursement committee totaling more than $200,000. GABR funds are now available to families in 37 North Dakota counties.
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!
