Lisa and Gara Ride for Sanctuary for Families

We're back! Well, we're almost back. After a long three-year hiatus, we were excited to be riding in Sunday's NYC Five Borough Bike Ride with the amazing team from Sanctuary for Families. But life has gotten in the way again - Lisa is still recovering from a nasty upper respiratory infection, and Gara's beloved Aunt Jackie passed away this week at the age of 93. So we are postponing our ride until August 1st, when we'll be riding 40 miles on Whidbey Island, in memory of Aunt Jackie (who was herself a social justice warrior) and inspired by the courage and resilience of gender violence survivors everywhere.

 

But we aren't postponing our fundraising! Our goal is to raise $5K by May 6th (shameless plug - coincidentally Lisa's birthday) - any and all donations are greatly appreciated, and every dollar will help Sanctuary for Families provide life-saving shelter, legal, counseling, and economic empowerment services to thousands of survivors in need.

 

With love and gratitude,

Lisa and Gara
