Question 2: Biographical data.

1. I am running for office with the goal of making Brookline a more inclusive neighborhood. This past fall I started volunteering for a Cycling Without Age Program at 2 Life Communities in Brighton. My friend, who is a 2 Life Communities resident, and I have gone on 9 bike rides around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. I would like to have a similar program at the 2 Life Communities location that is scheduled to open on Harvard Street in 2020.
