Journey of Hope 2026

My Journey of Hope

This summer, I will be dedicating my time to help The Ability Experience on The Journey of Hope. I will be apart of a team with around 50 other men cycling across the country, spreading our message of empathy and acceptance of our friends with disabilities. We will be meeting with dozens of organizations that support people with disabilities along the way.

I will be representing Zeta Upsilon Chapter at Bloomsburg University. I hope this journey not only empowers me but each and every person I am able to meet! I am fortunate to participate in an event that allows me to be apart of something bigger than myself. I am motivated by the opportunity to raise awareness and support for people with disabilities, knowing that every mile I ride will help them!

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