Description of Ride
The 11th Annual Bike Ride for Haiti begins Monday, October 6. The Outreach to Haiti team of riders are once again riding 337 miles, the length of one tip of Haiti to another, over 5 days. We'll be riding in Connecticut and Massachusetts and many of our rides will be routes we are doing for the first time. During the ride, we will visit some of the parishes and schools in Connecticut that are twinned through Outreach to Haiti with parishes, orphanages, and schools in Haiti. This includes a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Cathedral School in Norwich.
The purpose of the ride is to raise awareness and funds to support our mission in Haiti. Outreach to Haiti has been in Haiti for almost 40 years, serving the poor in the Christ Roi (Christ the King) community of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas with a healthcare clinic, food and nutrition programs, education programs, developing and maintaining twinning relationships, cultural immersion trips, and the FAK program, which empowers women to start their own businesses. Our motto is Helping Haitians Help Haitians, and Outreach to Haiti is truly saving and changing lives in Haiti. More information about Outreach to Haiti can be found on other pages of this website.
The people we serve in Haiti ARE IN GREAT NEED OF OUR SUPPORT. Due to the political and social unrest, the demand for our services and the challenges associated with delivering those services have increased significantly. Despite these challenges, and with your help, our staff in Haiti heroically continues to maintain services to their community.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers for a safe and successful ride (and an occasional continual tail wind would be nice!)
