Currently, Richard is being sponsored by such companies as Cannondale and Specialized Bicycles, Super 8 Motels and soon, Nike. Richard is fundraising in his home town of Santa Cruz until he raises enough money and bike components /tools to carry him through the entire journey. Richard is anxious to get back on the road, but without adequate funds, he cannot carry through with his promise to Julie and her family. If you can help finance Richard in any way possible, please call (408) 479-4953 for more information.
Richard's story will unfold in these next 9 months to 1 year on this home page. I will be updating these pages with current information about where he is in his travels, and also how much money is being collected for his non-profit effort, the American Triad Children's Fund. Richards dream is to make the American Triad Children's Fund a large organization that contributes the highest percentage of individual peoples donations to the children like Julie, and not to salaries of people _within_ the organizations.
We need your help! If there are people out there who want to build this organization and help to raise monies for disabled and disadvantaged children within the United States, as well as other countries througout the world, such as Children with AIDS, Cancer, Epilepsy, Muscular Dystrophy, etc... then please write to the one or both of the addresses below. Any donations must be sent to the Children's fund address only. You may also e-mail directly to wendy@sco.com if you would like any additional information.
