Did you know?

Every year the Senior High students at Our Father host a bike ride fundraiser called Ride the River.  In addition to raising funds to help offset the cost of mission trips, our students also set aside a portion of their raised funds and personally research and choose four worthy missions to assist.

From Ride the River 2009, our students donated $1000 to each of the following:

• Ysleta Lutheran Mission in El Paso, Texas
• A seizure companion dog for one of our members
• A school in Kenya, Africa
• An orphanage in India

Awesome!  Be sure to sign up for Ride the River on June 19, 2010 so we can raise funds to continue our ministries at Our Father and around the world!

Special Guest Speaker:
Tricia Downing

In one instant, on September 17, 2000, Tricia went from being a competitive cyclist to a paraplegic dependent on a wheelchair.  Her life was changed forever, but Tricia's competitive spirit and zest for life continued on.  Through her experiences in both rehab and racing, Tricia has overcome adversity and learned what it takes to perform at the top of her game.

Having made the transition from able-bodied cyclist to an athlete with a disability, Tricia knows the true meaning of the words challenge and change, and has learned a wealth of lessons to deal with the obstacles we all face in reaching our personal goals.

Tricia has completed over 50 triathlons from sprint to Iron distance.  She also competes in road racing and duathlon.  Her latest accomplishments include placing 1st at the 2009 Fifth River Bank Run in Grand Rapids, MI, and becoming the 2009 Duathlon World Champion in her division.

We are honored to have Tricia share her story with us as part of this year's event.
