The Hardin-Simmons
Leadership Studies Program has rallied together six students to plan and
execute a bike ride across Texas. We will be accompanied by, the head of the
Leadership Studies Program, Dr. Coleman Patterson, and Mr. Bob Sanderson, a
long-time friend of The Leadership Program. Our route will be about 900 miles
long (El Paso to Texarkana) and take us approximately 8-10 days to complete.
The trip itself is
two-fold. The first reason for the trip is to gain experience within our own
leadership studies program. We will be, and are currently, learning more of
what it means to work together in a group to accomplish a specific goal. Our
goal, currently, is to be able to make the trip happen with the help of
generous support and donations.
The other purpose of this
trip is to raise awareness to the benefit of physical activity. We will be raising funds to donate to Abilene ISD Physical Education. It is meant to
encourage our society as a whole that a healthy lifestyle is not out of reach,
but just takes discipline and motivation. Our hope is that as the nine of us
make our trip across the state, people will see an example of what you can do
when you put your mind to it.
