Friends! Big news! You have been there to ride and walk for better, safer roads in the wake of the death of Sarah Debbink Langenkamp and so many others.

Our 11 rides to honor them and others have resulted in laws and policies that WILL save lives.

Now, we have formed a 501(c)(3) organization that we hope will allow this movement to grow nationwide. We would love your support as we launch this organization. Our aim is to hold more rides and walks, lift up more families and friends, and make our streets safer for all.

Thank you!

Robert F. Kennedy may have said it best: "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.”

There are, of course, so many things for us to stand up for these days. My recent effort has included organizing the Ride for Your Life, promoting not just bike safety, but the larger cause of making our country a healthier, happier, and safer place.

I hope you agree and can join us on Sunday! We'll have beautiful weather. If you only have a bit of time, consider joining our walk from the Foggy Bottom metro at 11 or just show up at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday at 12.
