My Journey of Hope!
Tuesday 30th Dec
Pictured: My chapter's friendship visit with Noah Homes, center for compassionate disability care, in Spring 2025 at UC San Diego.
While I’ve graduated from UC San Diego, I’m honored to be
participating in the 2025 Journey of Hope. I’ll be reconnecting to my Bay Area
roots as a road biker, on a much larger scale. This summer I’ll be biking from
the West Coast to Washington D.C. through The Ability Experience's cycling
event called Journey of Hope, in order to help raise funds and awareness for
people with disabilities. 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.
Two years ago, I never would've pictured myself doing this. Back then, I was very skeptical of fraternities. A few work friends changed my mind when they were insistent that service-based philanthropy for people with disabilities, was a core aspect of Pi Kappa Phi. I was curious and nearly done with my degree, so I joined. In the last year and a half of meeting brothers, raising funds, and volunteering for disability service organizations, I’ve experienced just how important this is to my fraternity.
The Ability Experience’s recognition of all abilities and empathetic approach reminded me of the positive impact a friend living with disability had on me in high school. Even on my worst days, Ben would give a cheery hello. This inspired me to become philanthropy chair for the Zeta Beta Chapter (UC San Diego), which was impactful and transformative. Raising funds and supporting people with disabilities was not only a great goal to strive for but also brought out the best version of myself.
To make good on that goal, I’ve committed to raising $8000 for The Ability Experience. Please join me on my journey by donating through this secure page. If you know anybody that would also be interested in joining, please pass this page along. Thanks very much and stay tuned for periodic updates by email!
