More regions, more cyclists, more
impact. This is just the
beginning of Focus on the Family's new vision for continuing the National Bike Ride for the Family. Cyclists can now join one of ten regional

“As we reflect back on the great success experienced by
the National Bike Ride for the Family during its inaugural run, we’re excited
the adventure is now entering phase two!,” said co-host and bike ride
participant John Fuller. “Looking ahead
to the ten regional rides slated for 2003, we are anticipating lives touched by
God, relationships deepened, and opportunities to share about the ministry of
Focus on the Family.”
Focus expects to draw 100
capable cyclists per ride who will commit to raising $1,500 in support of
Focus’ many resources for strengthening the family. Raising
over $2 million last year, the National Bike Ride for the Family continues to
be Focus’ largest promotional and fund-raising event ever. With this year’s individual fund-raising goal
being cut in half, Focus hopes that even more cyclists will be encouraged to
ride.
Focus will also take this opportunity to bring awareness
about new events and ministries within the organization for strengthening the
family. Staff members from Heritage
Builders, Focus over Fifty, Focus on Your Family’s Health, and Focus’ nine
magazines will be among the guest cyclists.
This “retreat on wheels” is a once in a lifetime
experience. Don’t miss the
