Support Partners for Youth with Disabilities through the Rodman Ride!
The Rodman Ride For Kids is an umbrella charity fundraiser for youth-focused social service agencies that support at-risk children in Massachusetts. The Ride provides child welfare agencies an opportunity to raise funds through this event, where 1,200 cyclists participate in a 25, 50, or 100-mile non-competitive cycling tour on Saturday, September 25, 2010.

Partners for Youth with Disabilities, Inc. (PYD) will have the honor again this year of having a PYD mentor, Mr. Juan Botero, representing the agency under the Mass Mentoring group of beneficiaries of the Rodman Ride for Kids. Juan Martin Botero, an inspiring mentor and role model for youth with disabilities, successfully rode 25 miles to raise funds and awareness for PYD last year -- and he's up to the challenge again!

Mass Mentoring gives us the opportunity to organize our own rider(s) and raise funds through the Ride that directly benefit Partners for Youth with Disabilities, Inc. Mass Mentoring has also made it possible for Partners for Youth with Disabilities to be eligible to receive close to a 10% match on all we raise through the Rodman Ride for Kids.

We hope you will support Juan and Partners for Youth with Disabilities and encourage others to do so to enable the direction and production of the many programs in place for Boston's youth.
