Dear Donor,

I'm reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea. As a grandfather biking across the US, my journey isn't just about the open road—it's about bringing attention to a cause close to my heart: aiding the victims of the StarGrower Ponzi scheme.

Imagine the plight of those affected—hardworking retirees left reeling from the deceitful actions of one individual. George Blakenbaker's greed has left devastation in its wake, with millions lost and futures shattered. While he contemplates his early release from prison, those he defrauded are left to wonder how they'll piece together their retirements.

I feel a responsibility, akin to witnessing a tragedy unfold before my eyes. The faces of these families haunt me, urging me to act. It's a calling I can't ignore.

In response, I've conceived a daring plan—to pedal more than 2,000 miles on a recumbent trike, stopping at every city willing to hear my message. I'll seize every opportunity to shine a light on the plight of these victims, rallying support and funds along the way. I'm leaving on April 22, 2024 on this adventure!

My journey mirrors a lifetime of challenges and triumphs. From overcoming physical disabilities to building successful businesses, I've learned the art of resilience. Now, I'm channeling that resilience into a mission for justice and restoration.

Accompanied by my devoted wife, Rebecca, we'll embark on this 2,000+ mile odyssey from Dallas/Fort Worth to Washington DC. Along the way, we'll advocate for change, petitioning for stricter laws against those convicted of Ponzi schemes and lobbying for state relief funds to give aid to these families.

But I can't do this alone. I'm calling on you to stand with me—to lend your voice, your resources, your prayers. Together, we can rewrite the narrative for these victims, offering hope where there's been despair.

Our goal is ambitious—to raise $1,000,000 to begin the process of healing and restitution. With your support, we can reach this milestone and beyond. Imagine the impact if each of us gave just $50—the collective power of unity in action.

Join us on this journey of solidarity and compassion. Together, we'll pedal towards justice, one mile at a time.

With warmest regards,

Aaron
