Riding Ragbrai to support the 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
