Team Fila..Riding to Make a Difference

Riding for those who give so much

It is that time of year again ...time for The Ride for Semper Fi 2010 fundraising campaign to begin. Last year The Ride for Semper Fi team raised over $150,000 for the Injured Marines Semper Fi fund. This year our goal is $177,500. That dollar amount is significant as it was in 1775 that the United States Marine Corps was born. The Ride for Semper Fi is a 430 mile charity bike ride from Scottsdale, AZ to San Diego, CA. Every mile is pedaled in an effort to raise awareness and money for injured soldiers and sailors returning from war. Whether you agree with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is not important. What is important is that we as citizens of this great nation take care of our soldiers and sailors returning home with injuries sustained in war. Our military men and women are dedicated to preserving our freedom and to bringing freedom to those who have never known its glory. For that we MUST make certain their needs are met if they are injured in the line of duty. Last year Team Thomas was able to donate $18,000 to the overall fund. Talk about amazing!This year we've increased our goal and expect Team Fila (formerly Team Thomas) to raise $25,000! I know we can do it. Please join Darin and me in working to give back to those who give so much. Whatever you donate will ABSOLUTELY make a difference in the lives of men and women who serve this country so proudly! Thanks for being a part of this challenge and for making a difference. I will update you regularly on our progress. Please pass the site information on to ANYONE you think might be intersted in becoming involved. All of us together can make great things happen. God Bless and SEMPER FI!
