Washed up the Ol Wing, then applied a bit of cannuba wax. Andrea & I rode again in the Teen Challenge Freedom Ride on Saturday, helping to raise $29,000. for their Women's Shelter. This was my 6th straight year on this bike doing the Freedom Ride from King City, Ontario (Aurora).  Again tears came to my eyes as I listened to 'rescued' stories that the girls told us of, after they entered into this amazing women's shelter program!

This year the ride was split into 3 various area rides: 
June 25, 2016 - London
July 23, 2016 - King City (Aurora)
Sept 24,2016 - Sault Ste., Marie

About the Ride

The Teen Challenge Freedom Ride was started in 2008 by a riding club known as the Recovery Riders. These 35 men and women have faced and struggled with adversity in their own lives and have been used as a powerful and effective tool to inspire, support and encourage others in recovery. The Freedom Ride has grown to be at multiple locations, on various dates across the province. This enables Teen Challenge to minister to wounded and broken men and women looking for freedom from their life controlling drug and alcohol addictions.

To our Riders & Sponsors,
                                                                                      
What a success Freedom Ride was on July 23rd! We had a beautiful day of weather, an amazing turnout and a great day of fellowship. Together as a group we were able to raise just over $39000.00 and donations are still coming in! The money from this “Motor Cycle Charity Ride” will go towards the Teen Challenge Ontario Women’s Centre. Those funds will help support the ladies here find freedom and victory and the healing they need to overcome addiction. We are so very  thankful for your generosity & support. Each of you played a part in the success of the event! God is doing incredible things here at the centre and lives are being changed. We sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support with the “2016 Freedom Ride” and hope you will partner with us again in 2017.  Whether you will be joining in on the ride or supporting someone else who rides, your contribution will have great impact. We welcome Corporate Sponsorships as well and definitely the prayer support.  To God Be the Glory!!

Many Blessings & thanks!
