Halfway on Training. Halfway on Fundraising.

I am about halfway through my training before I race the Chicago Marathon in October. I began my training in Portugal, took my training to Colorado, and brought it to the beach in Santa Cruz. It has been a fun and rewarding half of training.  

This is my first big running race as a father and the coolest part has been modeling self discipline and healthy habits for my one year old son. He joins me in training whenever he can, especially during some recovery walks/hikes, and frequently ends up taking my massage gun or climbs on me during core exercises. I also am very grateful for being halfway to my fundraising goal and being able to model to my son the beauty of giving back to others. I keep thinking how 1,100 dollars or about 7 bikes have already been sent to women in rural communities so they can have a shot at receiving an education. Its amazing how something so simple as a bike and transportation access can have such a profound effect on someone's life. 

As I continue the last half of my training, please consider giving some money towards woman who deserve a chance at an education. 165 dollars provides a bike to a person in serious need and your money will support their future. I look forward to finishing the Chicago Marathon with a purpose that is bigger then myself. See you at the finish line. 

Your donation will provide bicycles that change lives.

I am running the Chicago Marathon on October 11th, 2026 in support of the World Bicycle Relief. I believe in the Power of Bicycles and their ability to change the world. Please consider supporting my personal fundraising efforts to help mobilize individuals in rural developing countries. Just $165 helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life. As an educator, I am specifically passionate about donating bikes to young woman in rural communities as these bikes have led to a 28 percent decrease in absenteeism and a 19 percent decrease in school drop outs. 

Spread the word by sharing this page with others who may want to donate to help individuals challenged by distance. 

Thank you for your support!

Kent told us about this. God Bless you! Leslie got a bike from WBR when she went to Tanzania in 2012 and gave it to a young woman before she returned to the US. Great organization!
