Fundraising is the hardest part.

I have decided to devote part of my spring and summer to raising money and awareness for the affordable housing crisis in America. With the help of the charitable organization known as Bike & Build, I have taken on the task of raising $4,000 for affordable housing organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, NeighborWorks, and various others.

Here's where it gets really fun... from May 13th through July 21st, I'll be biking 3,000+ miles from North Carolina to San Diego, over 13 states and approximately 60+ miles per day! I need your help, as every penny raised goes towards the cause and is appreciated a great deal by all those involved, including me!

Please make a donation today via the Bike & Build website, though they do have means of sending in a check/money order on the website as well. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want more information! The direct link to the donation site is:
