I'm biking across America to support a world where the abilities of all people are recognized and valued.
In summer 2027, I'm riding coast to coast with Pi Kappa Phi on Journey of Hope, a cycling event run by The Ability Experience.
Along the way, our team will visit dozens of organizations that support people with disabilities. We'll meet the people they serve and share a message of empathy and acceptance.
My goal is to raise $7,500 and train 1,000+ miles before I leave. Even a small donation makes a big difference. Every gift adds up, whether it's $5, $10, or $250, and it only takes a minute.
Three ways to help:
1. Give. Gifts go through this page to The Ability Experience.
2. Share. Posting this page or sending it to one person who'd care can do as much as a donation.
3. Follow along. I'm logging my training on Strava, and I'll post updates here.
I'm at $1099 so far. Can you help me get to the $2000 milestone?
Thank you. Your support means a lot.

Best of luck with the ride. I did Build America in 2016 and it was extremely rewarding. The visits and stops will be the best parts, be sure to spread out and not just hang out with your fellow riders. Thanks for bringing another Pi Alpha to Alpha Gamma chapter.
