I am not a member of the Dayton Cycling Club. My name is Chrissie, and I am a married mother of two girls in Huber Heights. I have recently become passionate about an organization called Love146. The mission of Love146 is the abolition of child sex slavery. Nothing less. About 3 months ago, I had no idea human trafficking was the second largest money-producing industry worldwide. A lot of these slaves are children - estimated 300,000 in the USA yearly (that number more than triples overseas). I have children. It broke my heart. I decided to become involved in my local Love146 Task Force. We are having a fund raiser Saturday, October 29th - a 13 mile bike ride along the Great Miami River Recreation Trail. Enter Dayton Cycling Club! This is the perfect opportunity for us to partner together to become aware, spread awareness about child sex slavery, and DO something about it! I would love to extend the opportunity to enjoy a fun bike ride for a great cause. We plan to have some good food available after the ride, as well. Registration will begin at 10AM that morning, with the ride starting at 11AM.
