The Ride: 2019

It is with great excitement we announce our ride for the Dominican Republic.

This year, we will ride through the state of Ohio!

This year, the whole family is going!

While we are excited and nervous for this on our end, we are really excited for what is happening at The Center in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Each fall they gear up for 60-80 children and teach them English and music along with other things to increase their opportunity to thrive.

The goal this year is to raise $10,000! Sounds insane, but it costs $15,000 to pay for a full year of teachers salaries at this school!!! That also seems crazy. These teachers are making an impact in the next generation of Dominicans. 

 Would you consider supporting our ride? We will be the first to admit that there are a lot of great organizations to support. There are many doing amazing things. We are passionate about what is happening at The Center and its impact on children in that region. If you have any questions please ask and we would be happy to connect and discuss the school and the opportunities there.

So this is how we are doing it. $10,000 divided by 330 miles, divided by 5 riders comes out to 6.07 a mile. When miles are sponsored it is a fun way to encourage us to get going even on the difficult days with a headwind or lots of hills. Sponsor a mile, sponsor 10 miles... or even more. Know that 100% of your tax-deductible donation, apart from a wiring fee to get the money in the hands of Pastor Pedro Juan, goes to the school. No donations are used for bicycling or any part of that trip.

Keep an eye out on this website as we add updates from the journey. We want to bring you along!
