There are so many worthy charities out there. That being said, I often don’t pay as much attention as I should to requests for charitable support as there are simply too many of them out there and I would spend all of my time trying to help all of them. Enter Seb Oran and Bicycles for Humanity.
Helen and I met Seb by chance during our Holiday Monday bike Ride. The first thing that struck me about Seb was her absolute commitment and resolve towards making the Ottawa chapter of Bicycles for Humanity a resounding success.
This is Seb (and Sandra who we have not met). Thanks for the name tags ladies!

I will be posting shortly with some details on Bicycles for Humanity‘s current drive for bikes in the Ottawa area.
Future posts will also include an organizational overview and reasons why this organization should be supported.
