Last October, I participated in the
Krempels King of the Road Challenge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This event
raised $84,000 for the Krempels Center, an organization dedicated to improving
the lives of people who live with brain injury. The Center offers programs that engage
members in meaningful and productive experiences and provides ongoing support
and resources to those impacted by brain injury. In addition, the
organization’s community outreach initiative provides education to the public
about brain injury and brain injury prevention. Most Krempels Center services
are provided free of charge.
While in New Hampshire, I was invited to the “morning meeting” at the
Center, and all I can say is “Wow!” I was immediately made to feel welcome, and
I was so impressed by the variety and quality of the programs offered on just
that one day (every day offers a different set of programs), I knew I wanted to
support this organization whenever possible.
So,
in 3 short months, I’ll be making a trip back to Portsmouth to ride in the 2013
King of the Road Challenge. I do need your help because I have set my
fundraising goal at $500, but I’d love surpass that goal just like I did last
year.
Donating online is simple, safe, and speedy! Follow this link to my personal fundraising page and make your donation.
If
you’d like to donate the “old fashioned” way, you can send a check, made out to
the Krempels Center; to me at my home address. (deadline for checks is
September 15) .All
donations are tax deductible. (I will mail receipts for donations I receive;
online donations receive an electronic receipt)
Thank
you so much for your support, and please feel free to forward this along to
anyone you think may want to support this wonderful organization.
