Your donation will provide bicycles that change lives.

I am passionate about cycling and fundraising, and my journey has now led me to the World Bicycle Relief (WBR). Having followed this organization for years, I’ve witnessed the transformative impact of bicycles on individuals and communities. Now, as I celebrate my 65th birthday, I’m embarking on a 7,600 km bikepacking adventure across Europe along the European Divide Trail. This journey isn’t just about adventure; it’s about making a difference.

WBR’s mission is clear: to mobilize people through the Power of Bicycles. They believe that everyone should have access to affordable, safe transportation that meets their needs. As experts in bicycle mobility, WBR designs solutions that improve healthcare, education, and economic opportunities.

Join me in this incredible adventure! Together, we can empower individuals and communities.

Just $205 helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life.

By supporting my journey, you’re contributing to this vision—one bike at a time.

Thank you for your support!
