Braking the Cycle

Nathan has decided to turn the whole crazy endurance event thing into a meaningful fundraiser. 

Braking the Cycle is an annual ride from Boston to New York that donates to a different charity each year.  This year they've selected Housing Works, a local non-profit that uses a chain of thrift stores to support medical and housing programs for homeless people with AIDS.  The concept is that supplying housing at the same time as treatment can help stop the spread of AIDS better than otherwise.  Their data shows that it works.  Good stuff.  Housing Works also happens to be Nathan's employer -- he manages one of the thrift stores, and he has seen first hand the great effect such fundraising directly benefits people in need. 

Now he and a small team of other employees will ride 285 miles during this year's Braking the Cycle to help raise further funds for what is a very worthy cause for a very underserved community.  Please help support the effort -- non-profits tend to ride a fine line between operating in the black or in the red, accomplishing a great deal on a ridiculously small infrastructure, and Housing Works is no different.  Every small donation helps more than you know.

You can donate here via a secure and speedy website.  Nathan (and I) sincerely thank all those of you who help out.  Again, every donation helps no matter how small or large.
