Journey of Hope 2026

My Journey of Hope!

Hello! I’m James Ferrara, a second-year mechanical and aerospace engineering student at RPI. This summer, I’ll be spending my time giving back by participating in Journey of Hope, one of The Ability Experience’s cross-country cycling events. I’ll be riding with a team across the U.S. to promote empathy and acceptance for people with disabilities, while connecting with dozens of organizations that support and empower them along the way.

You can help support The Ability Experience and this mission by donating through this page. Donating is quick, easy, and secure. I truly appreciate your support. Please feel free to share this page with anyone who may be interested in contributing!
