Mark Strauss Ride Across America supporting No Kid Hungry

Dear friends,
As many of you know, I have been involved with the AIDS/LifeCycle for the past 25 years. Last year was the final year of the seven-day ride, which has opened the door for me to look at new opportunities to support causes I care deeply about.
One of my closest friends, Mark Strauss, has decided to take on an extraordinary challenge: cycling 3,400 miles coast to coast to help No Kid Hungry who’s mission is to end childhood hunger in America. Mark’ goal is to raise $1,000,000—enough to provide 10 million meals for children in need. 14 million kids may go to bed hungry in our country tonight, that is unacceptable and a call to action.
I am supporting Mark’s effort in two ways. First, joining him for two or three segments of his ride. Second and more importantly I have made a commitment to raise or donate $100,000 toward his $1 million goal. My hope is that by establishing a strong foundation early, Mark will be well positioned to achieve his goal and make a meaningful difference in the lives of many children across the country.
Please consider supporting this important cause. Together, we can help ensure that every child in America has access to the food they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
Warm regards,
Bill
