Saying Goodbye
When I signed up to do a cross-country ride, my only expectation was for an adventure. Everything else—the family, the challenge, and the cause—was secondary. I think we all came in that way a little bit, excited to ride and forgetful of whatever else was to come. But, as I sit here without 29 other […]
The Best Nine
Sparks, Nevada Yesterday, we concluded the nine day stretch of riding we dubbed #bestnine. Over its length we crossed through half of Utah and almost all of Nevada, covering up to 800 miles. The desert was just as sparse and cruel as we thought it would be. Much of the time we wouldn’t see buildings […]
A little thing called donation magic
On BB, we have a little phenomenon that we call donation magic. The goal of it is to obtain everything from trip necessities like food and gas for the van to things for our own enjoyment, like ice cream and fireworks. I think the whole thing is pretty funny and interesting so I guess I’ll […]
The funds have been raised and the gear has been bought
I write this as the last thing on my to-do list before going to the airport for my red-eye flight to Providence, Rhode Island. With your help, I raised a grand total of $4,567. Words cannot express my gratitude towards each and every one of my donors and supporters for helping me complete this tremendous […]

So, take ya belt […]
This Summer’s Means of Transportation has Arrived!!!
I AM SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE that my bike has arrived from bookoo, Bike and Build’s gear partnership. Funds for the bike arise directly from my fundraising, and bikers are allowed to place orders for their bikes after they’ve raised $1,000. I’ve never even touched a racing bike (or is it called a road bike? […]
Food and Fundraising, Burgers and Bikes
Presenting: a fundraiser in collaboration with Five Guys Burgers and Fries at LaGuardia Place in NYC! The date has yet to be hashed out but I am so excited to announce that this is going to be happening. Bike and Build will be receiving ~20% of the profits I bring in on a given day […]
57% There :)
But the glass is still 43% empty!
The Small Donations
So there’s a story in the New Testament (I’m not religious, I swear, but I did read a children’s Bible when I was little so I know whatsup) in which Jesus praises a destitute woman who gives only a few coins to the temple but does not take any special note of the more affluent […]
