Our purpose is to host a fundraiser for Leson Dunkley, a Boulder school teacher at BCSIS and her four children, Alys, James, Austin and Emma Hansen, ages 10 – 19, so the family may remain in their Boulder home while Leson undergoes a third round of chemotherapy. In conjunction with this effort, we are
attempting to break the Guinness World Records™
for the
"Largest Bicycle Bell Ensemble"--the most people ringing their bike bells at once to a recognizable song for at least five minutes.

We are aiming for 1,000 people to meet Saturday, May 9, arriving between 3 - 3:45 p.m., with bike bell ringing at 4 p.m. at New Vista High School, on the northwest corner of Broadway and Baseline. Boulder should be the city that breaks this record, don’t you think?!
Only a bike bell is required to participate. You do not need to be on a bike, but bikes are welcomed of course. Don't have a bike bell? Please scroll down to the "Mirrycle" logo for information about purchasing a bike bell at the event.

Boulder County conductor, David Harris, BSE, MM, DMA will be instructing and leading us on the bike bells to some unforgettable tunes.

A donation of $10 is requested for participation in this GWR™ attempt. One hundred percent of proceeds will go to Leson and her children,

AND your donation will go even further because The Beanstalk Foundation, a local nonprofit, is providing a matching grant.

Donations can be made in two ways—with Paypal or with a check. If you use Paypal, please return to this website afterwards to register.

Leson is a well-loved Boulder Valley School District teacher, having taught kindergarten, fourth and fifth grades for the past six years. Her children have attended or are still attending New Vista High School, Boulder High School, the Watershed School, Manhattan Middle School, Centennial Middle School, Shining Mountain Kindergarten and Boulder Community School of Integrated Studies.

Leson was diagnosed with breast cancer one year ago, following the loss of her mother to breast cancer. She is currently undergoing her third round of chemotherapy and is in need of financial assistance.


You can further involve the community in which Leson’s family lives by forwarding the link to this website to local residents on your personal emails lists and to anyone with whom Leson’s plight would resonate. Leson is feeling very “held” by our community and is grateful for all of the support.
