HW Home cyclists seek donations to fund Colo. Children's Hospital endowment
The HW Home Girls cycling team is pedaling beyond the finish line to see if they can raise enough funds to fund a $50K endowment for the Children's Hospital of Colorado.
Colorado-based retailer HW Home's cycling team, the "HW Home Girls," has raised more than $20,000 for this year's Courage Classic, benefitting the Children's Hospital of Colorado. The team is accepting donations through August 31, 2012, in pursuit of their goal to raise enough funds to establish a $50,000 endowment for the hospital.
This marks the fourth year that HW Home, owned by Ron Werner and Jim Hering, has sponsored a team for the event, now in its 23rd year. More than 2,000 cyclists braved the 3-day, 157-mile ride that took place July 21-23 and challenged riders of every age, shape and cycling level with strenuous mountain passes.
Funds raised support the hospital's Children's Fund, which helps improve the care offered to each child, and the Hospital Sports Program, which helps physically disabled patients experience freedom through activities like skiing, snowboarding, fishing and cycling.
The HW Home Girls are captained by Boulder Store Manager Bev Needham, whose daughter is a nurse at Children's Hospital. Needham has ridden in the event for 21 years.

To achieve secucss in this issue you've written about, one need to really devote time and energy into it. I worked on doing a research about it in my spare time and also you wouldn't believe in the programs that opened up business wise. This is a good discipline and can lead to many exciting prospects. Thanks for sharing your secrets.
