Hi Everyone!
My name is Andrew Metcalf and I am a sophomore at the George
Washington University in Washington, DC. At this point in time I cannot say that I am a cyclist, but I am picking it up for a great cause. I thought I could spread awareness for my efforts by posting some info about them here.
Did you know that there are over 54 million Americans living with a
disability today? People with disabilities face many challenges
everyday that you and I cannot imagine, but one of the most tragic
barriers is a lack of understanding within our society. A simple
message of empathy and acceptance is all it takes to break down this
barrier, and I have committed myself to spreading this message next
summer.
From June to August 2008, I am riding my bike across the country to
support people with disabilities in an event called Journey of Hope.
In addition to the rigorous physical training that I will complete in
the next few months, I have also promised to raise $5,000 for Push
America, the national philanthropy of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.
If you would like more information regarding what I am doing, please
visit my website at www.secure.pushamerica.org/andrewmetcalf (http://secure.pushamerica.org/andrewmetcalf). Here you
can learn more about my Journey and help me make it possible by
becoming a sponsor.
I understand that many of you who read this may be interested in
helping me but don't want to give online. With all the crazy spam
emails I get everyday, I know exactly where you're coming from. If
you want more information about what I am doing, feel free to send me
a letter and I can talk to you personally about my Journey. If you
would like to write a check to Push America on my behalf, please make
it out to "Push America" and send it to:
Andrew Metcalf
The George Washington University
Pi Kappa Phi House
607 C 23rd St. NW
Room 402
Washington, DC 20052
Again, I am always excited to talk to people about what I am doing
next summer, so please feel free to contact me at
almetcalf@gmail.com.
If you aren't interested in giving, please forward this message to a
few close friends who might want to hear about my cause. I truly
appreciate your help as I try to raise funds and spread awareness for
people with disabilities.
Thanks,
Andrew Metcalf
