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!
