Welcome to Doug's Fundraising Page

Friends and family;
This is my 13th year riding the Courage to help Mary Bridges child abuse program. My friends and I are committed to this ride and the cause 100% every year and no rain, no wind no nothing will stop us...not even this Covid virus. We are going live again on this ride and look forward to coming together as one big team to raise funds for Mary bridge.
I've been asked why I am committed and my simple answer is Child abuse has no borders. Those that are unfortunate victims of abuse dont always stay in the same community but move to other communities and we are committed to making sure they can live productive adult lives.
You can help us out by donating a little to this big cause and bring a little smile to Mary Bridge and the child abuse intervention center.
Please join me as I Ride with Courage. I am fundraising to support all children served by Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, and I need your help! Will you donate to help me reach my goal and help kids at Mary Bridge get the services they need?

When you support Mary Bridge, you help children get the high-quality, compassionate care they need and deserve. Thank you for helping children at Mary Bridge.
This year has seen a lot of rides canceled but I've been fortunate to ride the Tour de Whatcom, Hurricane Ridge and many weekly rides with my team.
The one that is near and dear to me is the Courage Classic where I get to hear real live stories of kids that have been abused and it breaks my heart knowing a child has to experience this. If I can help by riding up and over several mountain passes to help this cause then it is the least I can do. Can you join me and help me with a little donation.
Ready. Set. Courage.
