Go Forward Team Ride To Benefit The Forward Foundation

The Forward Foundation assists mothers in financial crisis.  This Richmond-based non-profit is headed up by the amazing Andrea Starr whose dedication and passion helps drive the Forward Foundation on their mission to help women who so desperately need it.

Last year’s inaugural Go Forward Team Ride was a huge success despite the many challenges that come with a new fundraising event and of course, COVID.  So this year’s event is bigger, better and shaping up to be a blast for everyone.  It will be a family-friendly event to be held at Dorey Park and will include the main 50-mile ride, a 10-mile ride and a kids’ fun ride within the park.  It’s gonna be safe and fun and everyone is welcome.

Good Eye Podcast Ep58 St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

This episode of the Good Eye Podcast is a joint episode with the Synapse Hubcast.  It features Jay speaking with representatives for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Renee Fairchild of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude, and John Tyndall of the St. Jude Young Professionals of Richmond which unites with local leaders of tomorrow to help advance cures for pediatric cancer while providing young professionals an avenue to grow in their philanthropy and create the building blocks of a lifelong and diverse professional network.

The conversation revolves around St. Jude’s mission to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment, and also around the first St. Jude Cycle Challenge hosted by the Young Professionals of Richmond in which Jay is participating.

UPDATE: Fix-gear cycling through NY and some RVA Action on the channel

This video is something of a meditation. Sick of the noise and political harangue-n-bicker? Put this on, turn the volume down (or leave it up if you prefer), put on a chill tune or 6 or 7, and let it flow. I neither created nor own any of this content. Full credit to Terry Barentsen’s awesome channel. #yaybikes #bikesrule #terrybarentsen

UPDATE (10-19-20)

A few days before I posted this video on the site, Terry Barentsen was in Richmond.  Here’s a video from his visit.
