My name is Chris and I have been an experienced bike rider for 11 years. I have done several 24 hour rides as fundraisers to help fight cancer, including one 24 hour ride which was completed just as Hurricane Irene was arriving. When I ride, I can not ride without my sense of humor and eye for the wonders of nature. Since I have been a school counselor for the Pequea Valley School District, alleviating poverty has been the theme thought out the 25 years that I have been working in the education field. My vision for how these efforts will make life better for others and enrich the community is to support The Together Initiative in any way that I can. By supporting and facilitating efforts towards The Together Initiative, this ultimately results in a positive impact in the Pequea Valley Community. I look forward to riding again this year with The Together Initiative ride to Orlando.
