Hotter n' Hell rider to help former sex-slaves
Hey roadies. A friend of mine is moving to Sierra Leonne indefinitely to provide counselling to former sex slaves and children orphaned because their parents died of AIDS--and she's riding in the Hotter n' Hell Hundred to raise funds to go. She's doing a per mile pledge drive (that she thought up of herself) in which the non-profit we both work for is helping in funneling her pledges (in partnership with a couple of other non-profits). Anyway, I'm not soliciting pledges for her here, but I thought y'all might like to know of someone who recently got into cycling and is using her cycling and training for an excellent cause. As one who trained her and used to supervise her--I'm very proud of her. The plight of orphans, widows and victims of trafficking brings tears to my eyes--and she's using the old Peugot I restored for her to ride in it in order to get to them.

It is good to know that there are people out there willing to do things that I do would not do, because I am not as charitable.
People like your friend helps restore my faith in humanity.
