My ride across Oklahoma from Marietta, OK to Caldwell, KS officially begins Sunday, June 8th. We'll arrive on Saturday to register, get instructions for the week then head out for a short 30-mile round trip to the Red River and back. The total trek is over 400 miles averaging 60 miles per day!
I'm getting more and more excited about this ride! I've never been physically active all my life and getting on a bicycle has proven to be so much fun so the benefit of cardio activity has been a major plus for me!
I've been bold enough to ask for sponsorship for this ride;it's been an expensive undertaking for me. I live on limited income as I'm a full-time servant of Jesus. From my friends, I have received $335 to date; however, I am overwhelmed by the cost to prepare for such an event so I'm making a 2nd plea for sponsorship.
I'm estimating that I'll need about $25 per day for food. I already have a strict diet so I will not be able to eat all that's provided at the meals so I am bringing some snacks of my own to supplement my carb intake. Twenty-five dollars x 8 days = $200. That is the last amount I'd like to raise.
Donations may be sent:
- via PayPal to joseph@firststone.org
- via postal mail to Joseph Thiessen (must request address privately)
This request for sponsorship does not mean this ride supports a cause or that donations are tax-deductible. It just means you'll help a friend get across his state on a borrowed bicycle.
