It has been an unusual week. Plans to get sponsorship letters out over the weekend last week was kiboshed by illness. So, today I am feeling back to myself, and raring to get those letters written (and the begging started). We, as always, are looking for sponsors. Considering that when we began this journey 4 years ago, prices on almost everything has gone up, if not doubled. This makes asking for sponsorship rather difficult because we need to ask for more money from the same number of people.
What we need sponsorships for is to help us with the costs of running the Ride and its associated expenses. We have 9+ days of camping, travel to Edmonton from our home in Manitoba, travel back home from Regina, food for each day (which includes high protein meals for Rob as he cycles), and incidentals as we promote our fundraiser. It is important to note that we do not submit expense receipts to Wounded Warriors for reimbursement. We feel that is contrary to what we are doing. This doesn't mean we are hesitant to continue with P1K, in fact, we know that it is needed more now than before. Compounding financial difficulties with mental health issues and we are seeing people suffering even more than before. So, if you or someone you know owns a business and would like to sponsor us for our ride this year, send us an email at [email protected] or send us a message at our Facebook link on the home page.
