Ride For Hope 2015 Getting Started

Well today I thought I had better get going on raising support for Ride for Hope Coast to Coast 2015. This time we will be riding from San Francisco to Boston. Starting on June 14th and ending in Boston on June 24th, approximately 3,409 miles later.  It will be an international affair as well we will ride into Toronto Canada and riders from Europe and Africa will be joining along.  The Ride for Hope's primary purpose is to raise support for orphaned abandoned, vulnerable and forgotten children due to the AIDS epidemic in Africa.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNYBN-lQmSI


Since the ride in 2013 Laura and I have sponsored an orphan in Kenya and I am planning to ride in her honor.  I'd like you to meet Rosemary Atieno Ondiek, her dream job when she grow up is to be a nurse.  For some perspective her favorite activities are sewing, fetching water and washing utensils. She lives in a Carepoint ministry supported by Christ's Hope.  There she receives daily food, support for her education, and any medical attention.  Our hope is that Rosemary and other children like her will  have an opportunity to realize their dream of become a contributing member of her village and country.

 

This is why I will particpate in Ride for Hope, to see that children like Rosemary don't end up abused  in some work camp or worse.  Please consider supporting Christ Hope's ministry you can contribute on my Ride for Hope page on the link to the right you can also click on this link https://rideforhopectc.org/rides/893john-leeming/profile
