Rockburn Cyclocross - Food & Clothing Drive

Thank you to everyone who donated to AFC's Food & Clothing Drive at the Rockburn Cyclocross race this past weekend. Here is a report from Bill Blandford who delivered the goods:
Food and clothing donations from AFC's Rockburn CycloCross registration effort were delivered to the Route 1 Day Center last night at 5:30 PM. The polka dotted collection box (4'X2'X2') was overflowing with clothing and canned goods on race day. It took me 10 minutes to unload the box and pack it into the back of the SUV. The donations filled the entire cargo area all the way up to the windows!
When I arrived at the Route 1 Day Center a nice gentleman saw me unloading and I asked if he worked there. "No, he replied. I'm one of the lost souls. You look like you need some volunteers." Two minutes later the car was unloaded as 8 men arrived on the scene to help. Thanks and happy holiday wishes were exchanged by all and I can only imagine the activity surrounding the donations that ensued after I left. Props to all who contributed especially Jen and Madi for the brilliant idea.

Rob Irias' Ultra Ride For Kupenda!!

This past weekend on Saturday November 13th AFC Team Member, Rob Irias, rode his bike for a total of 200.58miles to raise money for Kupenda For The Children. His ride was nothing short of inspirational. Recently Kupenda sent out an email alerting everyone of their urgent need for funds. Rob was motivated by that email to go out and do something about it. He is still waiting for all of his donations to come in but he has raised well over $500 already!

Good job Rob. You are inspirational!!!
