Dear Friends and Family,

On September 19, I will be taking on a 100-mile ride at the Peninsula Century Fall Challenge  in Sister Bay, WI. While riding 100 miles is certainly a challenge, it pales in comparison to the journeys traveled by the teens who participate in and graduate from the Best Fit for Teens program. 

As an endurance cyclist, I am constantly inspired by stories of perseverance, resilience, and determination. That is why Best Fit for Teens means so much to me. The young people in this program overcome obstacles that many of us can scarcely imagine. They work through challenges, build confidence, develop healthy habits, gain insight into the lives of teammates and achieve goals that can change the trajectory of their lives.

Every time I push through fatigue, climb another hill, or ride through difficult conditions, I am reminded of the strength and determination demonstrated by these teens. Their journeys are far more inspiring than any distance I could ever ride.

I invite you to join me by making a donation to Best Fit for Teens. No gift is too small. Every contribution helps empower young people to overcome challenges, build confidence, and create healthier futures.

100 miles is a ride. Changing a young person's life is a journey. Thank you for helping make that journey possible.

With gratitude,

Sudhakar Karlapudi
Endurance Cyclist and Proud Supporter of Best Fit for Teens
