Joe Carpenter

Hello Friends & Family!

From July 22 - July 29th, I will be participating in the 50th annual RAGBRAI ride, which is a 7-day, 500+ mile bike ride across the state of Iowa. During RAGBRAI, I'm raising money to benefit World Bicycle Relief, and any donation will help make an impact. 

While I am extremely fortunate and have several bicycles that I can choose from to ride, many people in third-world countries do not own a single bike. For them, a bicycle is not primarily for enjoyment, but it is a critical piece to empowering them through transportation. World Bicycle Relief addresses this ineqaulity by providing unique, sustainable, bicycles called Buffalo Bikes that enables users to travel long distances over difficult conditions, and will withstand the challenging environment without breaking down.

If you recognize that a child’s right to education or a woman’s right to healthcare doesn’t end where the pavement stops and if you want to help in defeating chronic poverty and support rural communities in their efforts to overcome the challenge of access, please consider making a donation today.

Thanks in advance for your contribution!

Joe
