Tip Tuesday: Volunteer, It's Good For the Soul!!

Yesterday, myself and several of my Benefit Advisors co-workers participated in the Ride 2 Recovery Florida Challenge, sponsored by UnitedHealthcare. The Ride 2 Recovery is produced by the Fitness Challenge Foundation, (501C3) in partnership with the Military and VA Volunteer Service Office, to benefit Mental and Physical Rehabilitation Programs that feature cycling as the core activity.

More than 180 cyclists participated in the Florida Challenge, traveling from all over the United States. They kicked off in Tampa and will end in Jacksonville later this week.

We had the pleasure of getting to know some of our wounded veterans, which was a wonderfully uplifting experience to say the least. Their spirit, courage and dedication to the cause was not only inspirational but very humbling. I would like to say thank you to UnitedHealthcare for inviting our agency to participate in such a wonderful afternoon of giving back and for the cultivation of new friendships. To view some of our pictures from the event, visit us on Facebook.

This holiday season, I challenge you to set aside some time to give back, because it is truly good for the soul!

Until next week,
Michelle D.
