My Journey of Hope!
This summer, I’m taking on Journey of Hope to grow as a leader, challenge myself physically, and prove that I can step up to fundraise for a cause I care about. Cycling ~8000 miles over two months is a big commitment, but it’s exactly the kind of challenge I want to pursue to push myself and serve others.
I also have a personal connection to this mission because I grew up around family and friends with autism and Down syndrome, and seeing their joy despite the adversity they face inspires me. On the road, I want to help more people understand inclusion, accessibility, and the idea that disability does not mean inability. Every conversation and donation helps move that message forward.
If you’re able, I would be grateful for any level of support, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page with others who might be interested. Thank you for helping me take on this journey and stand alongside people with disabilities across the country.

Thank you, Gustavo, for having the heart and compassion to support children you may never meet. You're opening more eyes and raising awareness about people who, regardless of differences, want to feel a sense of belonging and significance, like everyone else.

Thank you for doing this Gustavo!
Thank you for raising awareness about this. I hope other people realize how much help is needed and support your efforts, especially if they have someone they know with a disability. Proud of your integrity and commitment.
