Permaculture CU president issues CEO challenge
Donald Sarich, President/CEO of Permaculture Credit Union, will participate in the Santa Fe Century bike race on Sunday, May 18. He will attempt to complete the 100-mile route down the Turquoise Trail to Golden, then to Cedar Grove, Stanley and back to Santa Fe in eight hours.
“My experience with biking is very simple. I ride my bike to work as often as possible. This is easy because I live only three miles away. Last year our credit union installed a bike rack to make it easier for employees and members to bike to our shared office with the State Employees Credit Union. The biggest reason I am doing this race is because my neighbor across the street said I couldn’t. I guess I don’t like people underestimating my determination and heart.
“I am actually more of a runner and last year I completed the 17.1 mile Imogene Pass run. This race was from Ouray to Telluride. It was an amazing accomplishment in my life and I look forward to improving my time when I run it again this year.”
Sarich invites other credit union CEOs to pledge money to Children’s Miracle Network and UNM Children’s Hospital if he successfully completes the ride. To make a pledge, contact Sarich at (505) 954-3479; toll free at (866) 954-3479 or via e-mail at .
