Institute on Aging

I am riding the last 6 days of Ragbrai (Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) from July 22-27. This is my bi-annual appeal to raise money for the Institute on Aging in San Francisco where I have served on the Board since 2017. The ride is 392 miles, from Red Oak to Burlington, and I will contribute $10 for every mile that I ride plus a bit more to get to $4,000.

IOA is the leading advocate for older adults and those who care for them, and offers a broad spectrum of services and support to help seniors maintain their independence as long as it is safe to do so. https://www.ioaging.org/

I am asking my friends to help support IOA as I ride

across Iowa. Iowa is not flat and this year's ride, the hilliest ever, will include 16,000 feet of climbing! Any amount you give from a penny to $10 or more per mile will be greatly appreciated and put to good use at IOA.

Thanks,

Andy

I am riding in the Ragbrai ( Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) ride across Iowa again this year and have decided to raise money for the Institute on Aging in San Francisco where I sit on the board. The total ride is 454 miles in 7 days from Sergeant Bluffs, Iowa to Lansing, Iowa. My goal is to raise at least $15,000 in addition to the $5.00 per mile that I will donate to IOA. Please consider pledging $1.00 or more per mile ridden or any amount that you feel comfortable with.

I have been on the board of the Institute on Aging since 2017 and served as Chair of the Board for 2 years. IOA is a terrific organization that works to enhance the quality of life for adults as they age by enabling them to maintain their health, well-being, independence and participation in the community. https://www.ioaging.org/
