Your donation will provide bicycles that change lives.

World Bicycle Relief provides bicycles to rural communities around the world to help them gain access to healthcare, education, and jobs. 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 (€147) helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life.

My goal: 20 bikes! All contributions, however big or small, are greatly appreciated! Spread the word by sharing this page with others who may want to donate.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you all for your support! I am amazed to have already raised the $1650 that will provide 10 bikes to those who can use them most. And I did not even start my trip yet...
