Laura Norquist's Fundraising Page

Hi Friends: Selecting charitable causes to affiliate ones self with has become challenging for all of us given the amount of those in need. Recently I was introduced to an organization called The Ride for Semper Fi (http://www.therideforsemperfi.com/) . Specifically they raise money to aid those Marines injured in combat who are faced with drastic changes to the way they will live their lives. As the wife of someone who served in the Navy, sister in law to those who served in Army, Navy and Marines and daughter of an Army Officer...this cause struck a chord. It is easy to take for granted the "luxuries" we all have in our every day lives. I remind myself often, how fortunate we are to live in the United States which offers more freedoms and opportunities than any where on this planet. These freedoms do not come without a price. There are many that spend their days defending our country so we can continue to live the lives we do. When they return from duty, some must live with emotional and physical scars that may never heal. Some of you have contributed/served in ways that I am sure none of us can comprehend...thank you for that. So here is my ask, my husband Craig and I will ride our tandem bicycle from Scottsdale to San Diego to raise money for this organization along with 45 others in October . The ride takes place over 4 days and will amount to 400 miles. At the end we have an opportunity to spend time with some of those very Marines that will benefit from the monies raised during this journey. Our goal is to raise $5,000 so I need your help. Would be great to have your support no matter how little...every dollar counts!!! If you have others that may connect with this cause feel free to forward on...it would be appreciated. Thanks for your consideration. Regards, Laura
