Gear Up Florida 2026

My Journey of Hope!

This summer, I am dedicating my time to serving others on one of The Ability Experience's cycling events called Journey of Hope. I will be joining a team that will travel across the country in order to spread our message of empathy and acceptance for our friends with disabilities! We will meet with dozens of organizations that support people with disabilities along the way.

Please help me support The Ability Experience and this mission by making a donation through this page. The process is fast, easy and secure. Thanks so much for your support... and please share this page with any friends who you think might be interested in donating!

Gear Up Florida

Friday 17th Apr

Hello!

With your help, I can be a part of a life-changing experience in 2026. I hope you can support my effort to challenge myself while impacting the lives of people with disabilities. 

What is this “life-changing” experience? 

Well, I am glad you asked!

I have recently committed to cycling 950 miles across Florida this summer in an experience called Gear Up Florida. I am doing this to support, raise money, and spread awareness for people with disabilities. 

It’s a ride with purpose put on by the Ability Experience, a non profit organization created by my fraternity to promote inclusivity and understanding for those with disabilities. We want people to realize that disability does not mean inability.

The true impact of Gear Up Florida can be felt through its programming. Nearly everyday on the trip, the team meets with organizations that support people with disabilities at events we call friendship visits. These unique shared experiences could be a karaoke dance party or a game of wheelchair basketball or even just sharing a meal together. I will get to participate in an event that will show me new perspectives and learn lessons that will impact me for the rest of my life. This journey is about service beyond self and the men of Pi Kappa Phi have been dedicated to fulfilling its mission, one mile at a time, since 1997.

Will you help me reach my fundraising goal? Any amount is greatly appreciated and even if you cannot give, you can still support me in other ways by sharing and spreading the word!

Thank you to my donors
