We have 4 organizations we'll be giving proceeds to, from this Bike-a-Thon.
**Reel Hope-Kaycee (founder) makes a 2 min "reel" of every foster child, in MN. (1,000), that is waiting for adoption & brings reels to gatherings and faith communities, introducing people to these kids. They also help to get 5 families (village) around those willing to adopt, to help raise the child. Foster care are vulnerable children at very high risk for sex trafficking and related issues.
