Good News! 

I had registered for this tandem biking camp in Colorado Springs and I have
been approved! I will be going to fundraise for my fees of $390  in addition
to my flight to Colorado Springs, CO. 

If you can donate to my "Fund Evelyn's Cycling Camp Experience in Colorado

Thanking you in advance for your support and for tagging along on the ride!
