This is from Birmingham's infamous DirtDog and his cycling group email. If you can come out and help, please do. I can't imagine life without a bike, and don't think anyone else should.
Message:
We could really use some help from local cyclists next Friday, August 7th. At the Lakeshore Foundation, we'll be helping U.S. Veterans that lost their sight in the service enjoy riding a bike again. This is an event called Operation Night Vision, and Steve Fair helps out every year. He's really short on volunteers this time and if any of you are willing to take a day to help out, we'd be eternally grateful.
We're looking for both strong riders willing to captain tandem bikes and also for people willing to assist the veterans as needed with getting on and off the bikes. Its an all day event, but there are two shifts (9-12 and 1-4) if you can't stay all day. Any time you are willing to give is greatly appreciated.
If you're interested or know someone that would be, please let me know! Its an incredible experience and one neither you or the soldiers will soon forget.........
