Hi!

COVID-19 has changed the dynamic of Cycle for Shelter this year, however, as Emmaus, Inc.'s largest and most critical fundraising event every year, the cycling must go on. Although the formal event has been cancelled, I will ride this summer to raise money in support of the wonderful programs and services Emmaus provides. My goal is to ride 2020 miles by the end September!

Emmaus needs your support now more than ever. Emmaus has been open the ENTIRE pandemic—caring and housing for men, women and children who have no place else to go. Consequently, Emmaus has incurred unanticipated costs such as purchasing additional cleaning supplies to enhance their already stringent cleaning procedures, adding additional WIFI hotspots so the children in their shelters can participate in remote learning with minimal interruptions, placing air conditioners in each room in the family shelter so families can stay distant from other guests and keep cool rather than congregating in the common space, and increasing staffing for their programs.

Cycle for Shelter is the only major fundraising event that I do each year, so please support Emmaus to the greatest extent possible, particularly this year as Emmaus continues to offer their services during the pandemic. And if you're fortunate enough to have the capacity to give a little more this year, your donation will help ensure Emmaus continues to operate throughout this pandemic.

Donating through my site is simple, fast and totally secure. Just click on the Donate Now button! It is the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts.

Your generosity and support is deeply appreciaate and remember to forward this to anyone you know who's also passionate about helping people in need and ending homelessness!

Stay safe and healty!

Gratefully,

Dave
