Need Cycling Clothes for Girls

[Kenneth Walker]

Okay y'all, here I am...just wanted to thank you all for your caring spirit, kindness and willingness to support the Wheels Can Take Me Places project. I have already received a number of packages from you all, and in sharing some of the clothing with the girls in the program has made a big change in how they see themselves riding bicycles. They are amazed that women actually ride bicycles on a regular basis, because they don't get to see that here in KC...and it has changed something in them.

After reading all of the posts, I want to add that we can use all kinds of gear...helmets, shades, gloves, just about anything for cycling, be it for males or females (after seeing what the girls have, the boys have gotten jealous cause I only have limited clothing for them)...we are really starting from scratch as far as this program is concerned. And also, I work with another local charter school, doing a month long summer cycling program with them. I will use some of this gear with those youth as well, so if you know any guys who want to get rid of some gear also, feel free to send it my way.

Again, I am just overwhelmed by your kindness...and everyone needs to give each other a big hug from me, until I can do it myself. Expect pictures, updates and letters from the kids in the near future. Thank you big time to Lorri Lee Lown and Laurel Green for getting this whole thing rolling. I have never come across anyone so willing to help as these two ladies...you all are very lucky to have them in your lives and as friends. Thanks y'all!!!

Hi Kenneth,

I have three jerseys to put in the mail for the girls tomorrow (no boys stuff, sorry!) Hope it's not too late!

I have a jersey and possibly a helmet in good condition. I will try to get it out tomorrow!

Can I still send out cycling clothes or is there a deadline?

I have a couple of jerseys, shorts and gloves that I would like to donate.
