American Red Cross – I donate blood every 53 days. It is painless, does not take that much time and you can save at least 3 lives every time you donate. Plus they give you some really great snacks after you donate!
Moveable Feast cares for men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses by preparing and delivering nutritious meals and groceries and providing nutritional counseling and other services. I became involved with this organization when I participated in their largest fundraising event, Ride for the Feast. Each year I ride 100+ miles to raise money for this fantastic organization. Additionally, I volunteer in their kitchen on a weekly basis to help prepare meals. If you would like to volunteer or participat in the ride just let me know. I would love the company.
Back on My Feet – Back on My Feet (BoMF) is a national nonprofit organization that is dedicated to creating independence and self-sufficiency within the homeless and other underserved populations by first engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem.
There Goes My Hero – This organization works to find a match for every Leukemia patient and assist their families through a variety of support programs. Their mission is to restore hope to Leukemia patients and their families through increasing bone marrow registrants, providing nutritious meals, and supporting blood cancer research. I donate time to help expand their bone marrow registry and different events and participate in their Hero-Paloozabike ride in which participants can ride a variety of different mileages to raise funds for this great organization.
