“Brake the Hunger
Cycle” Bike Tour Outreach Fundraiser
-
Save the date! MAY
8, 2009
On May
3rd, 2008, they came wearing bright fluorescent lime and neon orange
spandex; they came in their everyday jeans. They came with their
high-tech bicycles and their tandem bikes. They even came with their
tricycles. They came to Kinnelon, NJ, to enjoy a pleasant bike ride.
But, more importantly, they came to make a difference. They came to
ride in the “Brake the Hunger Cycle Tour” bike event hosted by St.
David’s, Kinnelon.
The
people of St. David’s took to heart the call of the two successive
General Conventions, where the Episcopal Church committed itself to
supporting the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s).
These goals were developed by the leaders of 191 nations to eradicate
extreme poverty and hunger in the world by the year 2015. Fulfilling
these goals would mean lifting 500 million people out of poverty. More
than 300 million would no longer suffer from hunger. Child health would
improve, saving the lives of more than 30 million children under the age
of five. For more information visit: er-d.org/mdg.
Given the
scenic beauty of Morris County, and the great popularity of biking in
the area, this was an ideal event in support of the MDG’s. The “Brake
the Hunger Cycle Tour” captured the imagination and interest of many
local community groups. Local businesses offered sponsorships and
supplies, while individuals and groups such as the Girl Scouts offered
their services. Bishop Mark Beckwith served as honorary Chairman, and
Mayor Glenn Sisco and the Town Council of Kinnelon issued a Proclamation
in support of the event. Eighty-seven riders participated in four
different biking routes. Support vehicles, bike technicians and rest
areas with food and drink were available to the riders at four different
rest areas. Each rider received a specially designed T-shirt created by
St. David’s Artist-in-Residence, Judy Tattersall. Upon returning to St.
David’s at the end of their tours, riders were greeted with live music
and an old-fashion family-style picnic BBQ.
More than
$7,800 was collected for the fund for MDG’s. St. David’s has committed
itself to a yearly “Hunger Cycle Tour” and to raising a total of
$100,000 by the year 2015. The war of poverty has continues!
