Dear friends,

As I typed the title above, there was a part of me that looks at it and thinking "is that real?" but I know that it is. I am excited for the opportunity to ride one more time, because I know that we ride together in support of Anchor House.

We recently updated our mission statement, and it really resonates with me. It is to provide youth and young adults who are experiencing abuse, neglect, homelessness, or are aging out of the child welfare system with comprehensive services that offer them and their families the support they need to succeed and thrive.

We were created to serve young people but as the world changed, we eventually realized that there is just as much of a need for young people aging out, and so we saw the need to pivot. We continue to look to see how else we can serve this segment of our community, and your support is essential to giving us the financial flexibility we need to achieve this goal.

I feel so fortunate to have such a loving and caring community of family and friends. Thank you so much for your support as I go for #25!

Thanks,

Russ
