Cyndi Thomas's Ride for Semper Fi Fundraising Page

Riding to make a difference and say thanks!

The Ride for Semper Fi 2008

If you are looking for a unique way to give back to the military men and women who have given so much, let me tell you about The Ride for Semper Fi 2009. The Ride for Semper Fi is a 430 mile bike ride from Scottsdale, AZ to Camp Pendleton, CA. 30 riders of all abilities (yes, including me) will set out on October 14 and over 4 days will ride as a team to Camp Pendleton. Our mission is to raise funds and awarenss for the Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund. Started in 2004, The Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund works closely with the Marine Corps, the Navy and military hospitals nationwide to assess and provide for the needs of injured soldiers and their families. The Fund DEPENDS on our donations. Please help me raise money for this REMARKABLE organization. Together we can make a difference and show our gratitude for the selfless sacrifice the men and women of our military have made to protect our freedom. Thank you for choosing to make a difference. When we work together we can do great things!
