Coast-to-Coast with The Ability Experience
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 traveling coast-to-coast on a Felt VR road bike alongside a team of brothers that will bike about 4,000 miles over the course of 66 days. As an executive member of my Pi Kappa Phi chapter, I have made an effort to elevate chapter standing and engagement at Wake Forest, and have been impressed by the brothers' involvement in efforts and camps relating to the Ability Experience. By taking on this challenge, I hope to represent the values of my brothers here at Wake Forest, bring our work to the national level, and support communities for those with special needs and disabilities across the United States.
Personally, I accepted the challenge of the Journey of Hope because I believe it is an opportunity unlike any other. One that gives undergraduate members the unique chance to meet, work with, and uplift folks with disabilities in meaningful ways. Unfortunately, many of these folks have difficulty being seen and heard by others in genuine ways, and JOH gives me the chance to change that in multiple locations across the country.
