The Dream Rides
Again
On August 13,
local attorney Andrew Mead will once again participate in
Dream Ride Projects’ annual Nightmare Tour to raise money for
Habitat for Humanity. The Nightmare Tour is a 176-mile
bicycle ride around the perimeter of
Lancaster
County. The route has been modified this year so that
cyclists can press on to complete an even 200 miles in a
single day, a goal many cyclists dream of achieving. Habitat
for Humanity continues to turn the dream of home ownership
into reality for many local families by providing decent,
affordable homes. By the end of 2005, Habitat hopes to have
provided affordable homes for over 100 families in Lancaster
County and over 1 million world wide.
You can help by
sponsoring Andrew in this ambitious endeavor. His goal is to
raise $20 for every mile he pedals on August 13. He’s
planning to complete 200 miles during the tour and raise a
total of $4,000. All funds raised directly benefit Lancaster
Area Habitat for Humanity and are used for local programs.
Pledges and contributions should be made out to Lancaster Area
Habitat for Humanity and sent to the Habitat office, noting
"Andrew Mead" in the memo.
You may also
volunteer your time by helping Habitat staff a water station
during the Dream Ride event on July 30. If interested in
volunteering your time, please contact Juanita Fowler.
Working a water station during an event like the Dream Ride
gives you the chance to see ordinary people doing
extraordinary things on bicycles and help a worthy endeavor.

support, contact
