Get Dad a New Bicycle!
Donation protected
On Monday, July 6th, 2015 my dad rode his bicycle to the store to pick up a few essentials and came out to discover his bike lock had been cut and his bike stolen! While I know this happens daily across the state, allow me a bit of your time to explain why it is especially impactful to my father.
My dad is retired and living on a fixed income but the most exceptional part about him is that he's survived FIVE heart attacks. Many doctors have told him they have no idea how he's still alive, but to keep doing what he's doing. What he's been doing is riding his bike at least 13 miles a day - rarely missing a day. Aside from the joy he gets when he tells people how many miles he's ridden over the last 5.5 years (just turned over 17,000) the bike is also his primary mode of transportation.
My goal is to help get my dad a new bike and lock while simultaneously reminding him how many good people there are out there!
Thank you so much!!
