RIDE FOR REFUGEES

The numbers are staggering – 67 million refugees and internally displaced peoples according to a United Nations 2007 report. Over half are women and children, vulnerable and voiceless while they flee war, persecution and tribal violence. Today a group of us from Cornerstone joined over 200 riders in Markham for it's first Ride for Refugees. Together, we raised over $50,000 and worldwide we raised over $800,000 for this worthy cause. The specific cause we rode 50k for was a lady who helps refugees in Iraq. She'll be sharing at Cornerstone about exactly what she does.
