After two unforgettable months on the road, the Journey of Hope team rolls into its final destination, capping thousands of miles of cycling, service and Friendship Visits with disability organizations across the country. But this isn’t simply the end of a trek; arrival weekend marks the beginning of a lifelong commitment to inclusion and servant leadership.

Whether you’re a parent, family member, friend, alumnus or an enthusiastic supporter who just heard the cheering and showed up, you’ll feel the energy. Over the past 60+ days, our team has pushed through mountains, heat, headwinds, sore legs and early mornings. They’ve also shared laughter, stories, dance parties and meaningful moments that deepen understanding of the lived experience of people with disabilities. 

Join us as we welcome the team, honor our partners and celebrate the impact made along the way. Your presence helps remind every team member that the miles matter and that the mission continues long after the wheels stop turning.

Hotel rooms for team members will be provided by The Ability Experience.
Family and friends are able to book at a discounted rate!
