My name is Tim Holt, and I am a strong supporter of an active lifestyle.
I will be riding over 300 miles from NY City to Washington DC on September 17 through to September 21, 2016. Donations go to beneficiaries that include bicycle associations in the greater DC area, national parks conservation and renewable energy, my goal is $3,000 by September 5!
Besides raising money for safety and sustainability, please take a minute to read the following paragraph taken from an article in The BMJ Medical Journal which highlights the health advantages of physical activity - "What interventions increase commuter
cycling? A systematic review"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4538250/pdf/bmjopen-2015-007945.pdf
"Physical activity is increasingly recognised as a fundamental prerequisite for maximal health. Its opposite, physical inactivity, which has been described as a global pandemic, was estimated to cause 9% of global premature mortality in 2008 as well as 6% of the global burden of coronary heart disease, 7% of type 2 diabetes, 10% of breast cancer and 10% of colon cancer. This is equivalent to the global burden of mortality caused by tobacco. There is strong to moderate evidence for a 20–40% reduction in many long-term conditions including cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, breast and colon cancer and depression4 as the result of being physically active."
Help support my effort to raise awareness of sustainable solutions and active transportation advocacy! I'm doing my part to take action and resolve our serious sustainability issues, but I need YOUR HELP.
It is very clear that there are a host of issues affecting the health of our planet, economy, and communities. Right now, it is more important than ever to work toward a sustainable and green future.
A great way that you can help do something meaningful, substantial, and concrete is to support my fundraising. I'm riding hundreds of miles and raising money for non-profit organizations that I truly believe in. Your generous donation is an investment in a healthier, safer future and will help my beneficiaries work to make this a reality.
Thank you for your help!
