“Serving as an associate director of Ride for Change Ride for Hope™ gives you a sense of awareness about things that maybe we take for granted, but it connects you to your community in a way you hadn’t seen before. When you step out and tell people what you are trying to accomplish, they immediately want to know how they can assist to help you reach your objective/goal – even when they can’t totally accommodate your request they will give support in other ways.”
