We are running to support Eve's Fund injury prevention activities on the Navajo reservation! Our goal is to raise $3000 by May 5th for bicycle helmets for Navajo youth. Navajo youth face enormous challenges in their lives, including poverty, diabetes, and a high rate of preventable injuries. Many Navajo youth share or borrow bikes for recreational programs, but the majority do not have helmets. An $8 donation will buy one helmet, and could prevent a brain or spinal chord injury...or possibly save a life!
