My Story…
Gonna race my Singlespeed 100 miles in the backyard. I’m riding for fun and to shred the stigma around mental health, but to also raise money for the eagle county education foundation. My wife is a teacher, and she and her coworkers change lives daily and work harder than anyone I know and deal with constant challenges each and every day. We do not support teachers and students enough. So I want to attempt to do my part to raise some money to help out as much as I can. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Here’s information on what the cause is:
Colorado currently ranks 48th in the nation in education. Our teachers rank 50th in compensation. Like most mountain communities, there's a wide economic spectrum. It can be tough to eke out a living here. Low wages and a prohibitively expensive housing market make it especially difficult for educators.
With that in mind, we've elected to name the Education Foundation for Eagle County as The Vail 100's primary beneficiary. EFEC bridges the gap in lost state and federal education funding in Eagle County, a number currently pegged at $2800 per student. EFEC also generates funding for in-school programs for enrichment and mental health, along with their efforts to retain top teacher talent.
Donate to help Mark raise money for The Vail 100’s fundraising campaign.
