BIKES CHANGE LIVES!

Help me raise money for World Bicycle Relief

Please consider supporting my personal fundraising efforts to raise $3800 as I bike across the US. That's just $1 per mile that I plan to ride, but it translates to 25 bicycles, which can have a significant impact on the lives of those who need reliable transportation.


Thanks for your support!
