On July 11, 2026, along with approximately 125 other participants, I will board a bus to begin the 48th Anchor House Ride for Runaways — a 7-day, 500-mile bicycle ride from Winchester, VA to Trenton, NJ.
Together, we will pedal 500 miles to raise critical funds and awareness for Anchor House, an organization dedicated to supporting abused, runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth ages 12–24. Anchor House provides safe shelter, counseling, education, and life-changing opportunities to young people who need hope and support the most.
I started doing this ride years ago & although I ride a little slower now, and I don't climb hills like I used to, one thing has never changed: the urgent need for the compassionate & quality care, support, vital services, and opportunities that Anchor House provides to young people seeking a better path forward.
Please consider making a donation of any amount to support the kids and youth of Anchor House. Every contribution, large or small truly makes a difference in a young person's life.

Thank you in advance for your support. I truly appreciate your generosity. Together we can make a difference.

Best - DeWayne H.
