Cycle the WAVE
Sunday, September 21, 2008
The Rising Star Guild and Lakemont Ladies Cycling Club have joined forces in an effort to support Eastside Domestic Violence Program (EDVP) through Cycle the WAVE.
Cycle the WAVE, a sponsored, non-competitive, all-women’s bicycle ride through Bellevue, Issaquah, South King County, Maple Valley, Renton and Newcastle was created by women passionate about cycling, who have bonded together through friendship, fitness and the desire to make a difference. That passion has now been merged with the Rising Star Guild and Eastside Domestic Violence Program (EDVP) to raise awareness and shed light on the 96,000 victims that EDVP served last year alone. All sponsorship proceeds benefit EDVP and the women and children they serve in King County who have experienced physical, emotional or sexual abuse.
The visibility and awareness created by this ride is intended to encourage those in need to reach out for help. The ride intentionally weaves through Bellevue and Issaquah as a reminder that in 2007 EDVP served over 2,000 women and children in these communities.
Cycle the WAVE is not a race, it is an un-timed fun-ride and here’s all you need to know to join us in our fight as Women Against Violence Everywhere:
WHO: You and your favorite female cycling buddies – daughters, sisters, mothers or girlfriends
WHAT: Your choice between our 25 mile Girly Girl route or the challenging metric-century (62 mile) Burly Girl route, complete with well-stocked rest stops and a chance for all riders to celebrate at our post-ride celebration
WHY: To bond together as women through fitness with the desire to make a difference in our community, by supporting EDVP’s mission to end violence everywhere, and TO HAVE FUN!
WHEN: Sunday, September 21, 2008
WHERE: Tibbetts Valley Park, Issaquah, WA
HOW: Register now!
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
