Anyone who viewed this thread The Youngest Lobos Marinos in action knows that we have decided to seek assistance for the Mountain Bike team, the Lobos Marinos of Bahia
Asuncion.
We fully expected to seek this assistance through contacts we have who are involved in mountain biking and were surprised, but happy when Deb offered
assistance with some springs. Then another bombshell fell out of the sky.
A Nomad who knows and loves the Bahia Asuncion area, but at this time requested he remain anonymous, sent us a U2U and offered the following.
He will match dollar for dollar any Nomad donation for the Lobos Marinos up to a total of $400.00. Yes, the money would go through us which involves
a leap of faith, but we would ask Shari to verify what happens. We would not be asking for Nomad donations, but this matching offer is just too good
to ignore.
The team needs everything used but better bikes, parts, helmets, tires, and a trailer for transport. It takes a long time to tie the bikes into the
back of the truck. From the youngest to the oldest member, they share what they have with each other
Again, while we were surprised and welcomed Deb’s offer, we would not be asking for donations ---- but just can’t turn down the offer to match funds.
