Bike all the way UP Pikes Peak?

I’ve never met Robert Adams, though I’ve e-mailed with him numerous times and talked to him a couple of times.    There are a couple of things that I think you should know about Robert:

• Prior to January 12, he had never heard of God’s Littlest Angels.
• After January 12, he contacted the Red Cross and did some investigating small organizations in Haiti to get involved with.
• Since then, he’s been very active in his support of GLA.  He has been down to GLA to help, has been actively involved in raising funds and getting supplies and has personally driven a truck load of supplies from Texas to our office in Colorado.

And now he’s doing something that I shudder to even think about.   He’s going to ride his bike all the way up Pikes Peak.

I told Robert that the last time I was on Pikes Peak, I could hardly walk 20 ft without gasping for air and he’s going to ride his bike up it?   Yep, and why is he doing it?

To Raise Money to Help the Orphans in Haiti.

In particular, to raise money so that GLA can help the kids in Haiti.

I’ve asked Robert to share a bit of his story and what he’s planning so that the readers of the blog can help as well.    Here’s what he sent me:

But there’s more on how you can help.    Robert has obtained some matching fund donations and so it would be awesome if we could get an “upswing” in donations that are trackable to Robert’s effort and Robert’s 19 mile up hill bike ride.

I’ve created a “widget” that I’ve put directly on this post so that if you click on it to donate, it does a couple of things:

• It takes you to GLA’s Paypal site where you can donate securely to GLA and we can track that it’s tied to Robert’s bike ride.
• It allows us to track how many people have donated to GLA on behalf of Robert’s effort.

Here’s what I’d like you to do:

1. Make a donation to GLA on behalf of Robert’s effort either by using the “widget” on this page or by sending a check to Robert made out to GLA.
2. E-mail 10, 20, 50 of your closest friends (they don’t have to be your closest ones) and ask them to help as well.
3. Click on that “share on facebook button” up at the top and share it with all of your facebook friends.

I would love it if Robert could, with every agonizing pedal up Pikes Peak realize that there are countless people helping out the kids in Haiti because of what he’s doing.

Thanks in advance for helping him support the kids in Haiti.
