Cycle to Save Lives 2

Dear friends & family,

A friend of both Union Rescue Mission and myself has offered a $500,000 matching gift to URM, if I would ride again from downtown Skid Row Los Angeles to Sacramento on my days off in June and July and invite friends to join me along the way. Please feel free to join in this effort whether it be on your bikes, via social media, or by financially supporting my fundraiser.  

I’m hoping friends of URM will support the ride through the mountains, to not only help make up a potential $2 million shortfall caused by a hold on an expected $2 million bequest but to also send a message to our leaders at the State Capitol that precious people living on our streets is unacceptable!

This will be the route  https://goo.gl/maps/dW2yu9jo7642



Beginning Saturday, June 2nd, after URM’s 5K Walk at L.A. Live, I will communicate ride dates & where I am on the route via twitter.com/abales , Andy Bales Facebook Page , Andy Bales Fan Page , Union Rescue Mission Fan Page , Andy Bales on Strava  and twitter.com/URM .

Other likely ride dates are June 17th, June 23rd & 24th, June 30th, & July 6th, 7th, and 14th & 15th, if needed. 

If you can join me, bring plenty of water, food, and perhaps a bedroll. There will be very little support along the way except for a few kind friends, & experiencing some of the discomforts those experiencing homelessness experience such as heat, sun, thirst and searching for a restroom. I guess that is part of the point & experience of the ride.
