Anyone have a bicycle they would like to donate to a very worthy cause?
Most families in rural Mexico are too underprivileged to own any form of transportation, even a bicycle is a luxury few can afford, but a bicycle can become a means to gain employment, buy groceries, or even visit a clinic.
We have been inspired to collect gently used bicycles, to take to these families in Mexico; with your help we can achieve our goal.
I am helping to collect good clean bicycles for a drive known as 'Bikes Across the Border'. A friend of mine in Traverse City started this drive in July 2009. Our goal is to collect 250 bicycles between now and April 2010.
We are looking for bicycles of any size, children through adult sizes. We only ask they are in good working condition and not missing any major parts required to operate.
Please take a look at the Facebook group we have created: http://www.facebook.com/JoeJLopez?ref=profile&__a=1#/group.php?gid=104394517631
Thank you in advance for any consideration you can give to this worthy cause.
I can arrange to pickup or meet you with any donations you may have available. Feel free to contact me at 810-479-0403 or email at Joe@joelopezllc.com with any questions.
