Please support me and the environment
As some of you may or may not know, I am the co-founder of LITE Initiatives and Community Bikes (www.liteinitiatives.org) . Through this non-profit group we encourage people to live more lightly on the Earth, including traveling by bicycle as an alternative to driving a car. I am a strong believer that bicycle riding is great for both the environment and for health. Personally, I love riding my bike.
So, I have chosen to join the passion I have for bike riding with my desire to contribute to the efforts to avert a severe climate crisis. May 19th to 23rd, I will be one of a hundred or more bike riders committing ourselves to riding 320 miles over 5 days from Eureka to San Francisco. Each of us bicyclists have taken on the responsibility to raise $2,400 for organizations that are working to turn the tide away from extreme climate destabilization.
The organization I am most impressed with and want to raise funds for is "350.org. A Global Movement to Solve the Climate Crisis" www.350.org. In my opinion, they are doing great work organizing a global campaign to put pressure on the oil and coal companies and on our government to move away from dependence on fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources. I feel that this is an urgent effort, and that is why I am stretching myself to undertake this strenuous bike ride and to ask you for your financial contribution.
Please use this link to go to my fundraising page and donate what you can to support me and to support climate protection work. I assure you that 100% of your contribution will go towards this critical campaign to reverse the currently accelerating climate crisis.

Thank you very much and I will report back after the ride is over.
Blessings,
Sammy Nasr
