Personal message
This year I have the privilege to ride for my little buddy Naomi. Naomi is 11 years old and has been in Home of Hope’s care since she was 5. She was born with Cerebral Palsy which affects her mobility as she has to use walking sticks to move around.
She also faces challenges associated with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which is permanent brain damage as a result of prenatal exposure to alcohol. Despite the challenges that she faces which are physical, mental, emotional, and cognitive she is a strong, positive little girl and I feel privileged to raise money for her.
I know that last year was a really tough year for the children due to Covid and being isolated, therefore I would like to raise funds to help Home of Hope with all the children’s medical care expenses.
I am entering the Cycle Tour because I would like to ride for a child and raise funds for a special child. I believe in the good work that Home of Hope does as they are changing lives daily and I would love to be a part of it and them.
Funds raised will contribute to the care of Naomi and making sure she has the best opportunities for a brighter future.
