Raise the Hope is a program within Raise the Bar, sponsored by the Hope Heart Institute, that served 12 women in 2007 who had one or more risk factors of Cardiovascular disease.  The program was from January - September and was available to these women through an application process.  The results have been  nothing short of life-changing.  Look for this program to expand and repeat in 2008.  If you are a women looking to lose weight and increase your fitness, keep an eye on the website. The new program details will be released in early November.  For more information, you can contact program director, Angela Meeks, here.

PROGRAM STATS:

Carpe Velo

 

RTB’s fleet of rental bikes were ridden in just about every race of the 2007 triathlon season.    Their purchase was made possible through the generosity and help of Speedy Reedy Multisport, and funded by  Kraft Foods and Cole & Weber United.  Crankbrothers & Center Cycle outfitted them with flat kits.   The 6 bikes were a combination of Felt S22’s and S32’s, and Cervelo Duals.

 

Team members could rent the bikes for $15/week and at our Season-end party, the bikes were auctioned to team members.  100% of the proceeds of 5 bikes, $7000, benefited the Domestic Abuse Women’s Network:  D.A.W.N.  The proceeds of the last bike will benefited the Susan G. Komen  foundation for a total of $900.  

 

Total Bikes in program:  6

Look for this program to repeat in 2008.
