Greetings from the Marchal family in Telluride! We hope this post finds you all doing well and, hopefully, finding some time to get outside and ride your bike or go for a hike.
It is, once again, time for us to look into fundraising for the Just for Kids foundation. Programs encouraging kids to get out and get exercise, programs focusing on the mental and emotional health of kids, their families and their communities, and programs helping kids with extra help that the schools and families cannot provide, are just a few examples of what we have given funding to in the past. You can imagine how it is even more important that we keep these programs going given our present times.
So, Bertrand and I are asking you, once again, to support this incredibly important fundraising event. Please donate as generously as you are comfortable with. No amount is too small or too big. We believe deeply in this cause and hope that you do too! I will only be riding a portion of the ride, due to a recent knee surgery, but, in the spirit of JFK, I am doing what I can. I hope you will too!
Thank you in advance for supporting us!
Warmest regards and happy trails,
Laura and Bertrand Marchal
