Once again, EPC is participating with Team Zimbabwe at the annual Elephant Rock Cycling Festival on June 6. There are three ways you can participate and help us raise funds for the 800 desperate orphans and vulnerable children of Heather Chimhoga Orphan Care in northeastern Zimbabwe. Of course we'd love it if you would register and ride with us on June 6. You can do that by visiting http://zimpartnership.org/team-zimbabwe . You'll find all the necessary links and instructions there. But this year, you can have a huge impact without registering to ride in the event. You don't even have to dust off your bicycle. Just visit https://www.classy.org/team/353942 , select JOIN TEAM, follow instructions and, before you know it, you'll be a fundraiser. You'll have a link to send to all your friends and relatives to ask them to chip in and help. And you'll see how every little contribution builds and helps us get to our goal. Or, you can simply make a donation at  https://...
