Pedaling 335 Miles to Change Lives
In rural Africa, a bicycle is one of the most reliable ways to transport people and cargo. They never run out of fuel, and can aid in reaching further and faster than a person on foot. That's the power of bicycles - and I think that together, we can help provide them to people in need.
As a pastor, I believe in putting faith into action. That's why I'm cycling 335 miles along the C&O Canal and the Great Allegheny Passage trails in May 2025 - to help raise funds for World Bicycle Relief. I'll be carrying everything I need for the journey on my bike, showing solidarity with those who travel this way out of necessity.
My goal is to raise at least $1,650 - enough to provide 10 life-changing bicycles to individuals in rural communities in Africa and South America. Every $165 raised puts a brand-new, sturdy bike in the hands of someone who needs it, empowering them with reliable transportation and cargo carrying ability.
If you sponsor me at $1/mile, that would be enough for 2 bikes! But any amount donated will help. Please consider donating and sharing this page with others who may want to make a difference.
Together we can help change lives, two wheels at a time! Thank you for your support!
My Updates
Another 50 miles complete!
Wednesday 30th Apr Day two has ended, just north of Williamsport, with over 100 miles on the trail.
Day 1 complete!
Tuesday 29th Apr I'm resting in my hammock at bald eagle island - and filled with gratitude for everyone who has supported this trip, with donations, prayers, or encouragement. Together, we are making a difference!
On the way to DC!
Monday 28th Apr I'm writing this post from Terre Haute, IN - where my spouse and I stopped for the night along the way to Washington DC, the start of my ride. It's hard to believe that the week is here - it's nearly time to start the trail!Thank you to everyone who has already supported the trip, with prayers, words of support, and donations to World Bicycle Relief. You are amazing! Two bikes funded before I've even left - that's a powerful motivator!
