My name is Chuck and I have been riding bike for the last 3 years. I ride a Motobecane bike and my favorite/longest ride or race was the ride to Nashville two years ago to the aha! Process convention. I am the Executive Director with The Factory Ministries for the past 10 years. I have always had a heart for those who are vulnerable in our communities. For the past 10 years, I have been addressing issues of poverty in our community and training other communities to do the same. First of all, I hope this ride builds momentum in our community for what we can do when we come together. Second of all, I hope it raises a great deal of funds for our efforts in helping those in poverty get the resources they need to overcome their circumstances. Third of all, I hope we can be a motivation for other communities throughout the country that together they can do more than they ever thought possible.
