We at GO WEST!!! USA still
believe in providing our youth with the opportunity
to travel. This year, we are changing things a
bit. This year as you can see we will be riding for
homeless youth and families. There are more than 1.5
million homeless teens in our country, many in our
own communities. This ride is to raise awareness and
money for those less fortunate. Please join us in
our efforts to make our community, our nation and
our world a better place for us all. We strongly
believe in, "Impacting Our Future, One Life At A
Time."
Your donation will help families
living in our community and help keep our youth off
the streets and in school. We can't wait to add
you to our list of sponsors!

On
July 7th, 2010, Rob Golden will be leaving from Yorktown,
Virginia and will then cycle for more than two months,
eventually winding up in Los Angeles, CA.. The purpose of
"Cycling Coast to Coast for Homeless Teens" is to
raise money and awareness, and to help with immediate necessities, such as food,
clothing, shelter and personal hygiene. GO WEST!!! USA is
working to establish a well-structured, residential teen
center, to help these teens and families (via StandUp for Kids and
similar organizations) by offering a wide array of
services, including: assistance in finding housing;
education assistance; vocational development; counseling;
health services; transportation to self-help meetings; and
legal assistance.
A lot of
us would like to help those less fortunate, but we often
lead busy lives and are left wondering, "What can I
do?" Well, I believe this is a cause worth giving to, even
if you can't give very much. I am a firm believer in
investing in our youth, they are our future. If you would
like to make a donation, click
here.

Watch Rob as he cycles through Ash
Grove, MO
on KY3, a local news station. He has already
traveled over 3000 miles on the way to completing
his mission. All across America he has raised money
and helped spread the word of teen homelessness and
helplessness. Together we can all make a HUGE
difference in the lives of these young people, many
of which feel they have no future whatsoever.
We
realize that not everyone could have taken the time
to participate in this ride, but everyone can still
help. By making a donation today, you can help
ensure that the work here at GO WEST!!! USA will
continue. To make a donation, you can click on the

"Too
many young Americans are out of school and work,
out of
home, and out of luck. And it's time the rest of America pay more
attention, because we can make a difference, and I believe we must
make a difference."
