I will be participating for the 26th time this year in the Ride for Runaways to benefit Anchor House Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to assisting runaway, homeless, and abused youths in central New Jersey. From July 12-18, along with about 100 other riders, I will ride my bike 500 miles, starting in Winchester, Virginia, and continuing through Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey to our finishing point just outside of Trenton, New Jersey, where Anchor House is based.

The need for Anchor House’s work in offering young persons in difficult circumstances the hope of a brighter tomorrow is as great as ever, and I remain fully committed to helping Anchor House accomplish its mission. Besides serving children from central New Jersey, Anchor House is part of a nationwide network of organizations that assist runaway children throughout the country.

I can’t express adequately how grateful I am for your generous support, and how much you inspire me to train and to persevere through the challenging stretches of the weeklong ride. Your donations to Anchor House enable it to continue its critical programs that provide hope for young persons in need – ranging from very young children to older teenagers. By supporting Anchor House, you help make a real difference in these young persons’ lives.

Sincerely,

Steve
