Last Saturday our church (Seaside Community Church) had a bike ride to raise funds for this year's Royal Family Kids Camp. The camp is for children that in the local foster care system, most have been abused and/or neglected. They range from 6 to 11 years old. Every summer we hold a camp that is designed to build trust and show them God's love. It is 100% free for the children to attend, so our church covers all the expenses. In order to raise the necessary money we have different fundraisers with the bike ride being our largest. We have a 50 mile route and a 20 mile route. Each person is asked to raise $200 to participate. We had a total of 95 riders this year! We were able to raise about $27,000 for this year's camp! That is almost the entire amount we need.
Both rides went smoothly, and everyone finished safely. I personally had not been on my bike more than a couple of times in the past few months, so I was pleased to have the 50 mile ride as well as I did. A big thank you to everyone involved.
