a lady, a bike, a mission:

My great friend Ashley Lance is taking a bit of a trip. She’s cycling 1700
miles, and along the way, raising money to help Oliver Elementary
Schoolstart an after
school program that teaches youngsters bike safety and
maintenance, right here in Portland!

The City of Portland is one that can be adored just as easily as it can be
taken for granted. It’s an amazing city with a small town feel and
something to do every night of the week. There are more locally owned
small restaurants and coffee shops, music venues and bike shops than one
could visit in a lifetime; and its easy to forget our unemployment rate and
our impoverished neighbors that could use a little “hand-up” from time to
time.

Oliver Elementary services an area of Portland where 84% of the families
are beneath the poverty line and the youth need activities to help keep
them out of trouble while they’re not in school. Ashley is going the extra
mile (plus 1699 more) and giving a huge “hand-up” to these kiddos in need.
So turn out a pocket or two and support a wonderful and adventurous woman
on a mission. Please read the whole story here:
