I wanted to wait to put this out there until things were a little more cemented. As you all know I have moved back to Illinois. A huge reason for that is, I miss my family. With that I have started working along side my sister Chrissie Lyons, who has stunningly become an elite archer internationally (read her story, its inspiring) Anyways, I have started working alongside her Archery business Lyons Archery, and Non profit organization Arrows of Hope in collaborative effort as a coach and media consultant. In a little under a month on Saturday June 13th we will be doing our 1st fundraing event for Arrows walking in a 5k called "Footsteps for fun" which directly from there website says "Take Steps to End Child Abuse, Keep Children Safe & Families Together".
I have included a couple of links to my fundraising page to donate and/or if you feel more ambitious JOIN OUR TEAM. Even if you cannot make it to Busse Woods in Rolling Medows, IL that day, you can walk virtually. PLEASE consider joining our team or donating for this amazing kick off funraiser with Arrows of Hope, Lydia House and Safe families.
Thank you and much love,
-Rick

Hi, I’m Chrissie Lyons, founder of Arrows of Hope, and I’m leading the Arrows of Hope team for Footsteps for Families to support Lydia Home and Safe Families. This mission is deeply personal to me because I am a Lydia kid. I lived at Lydia for three years, and I know firsthand how much it matter...
