200 Miles for Black Lives Matter

Hi friends! Thank you for taking the time to read about my fundraiser :)

I will be riding the entire length of the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal on the same bicycle that transported me across the country in 2015 when raising awareness and funds for young adults affected by cancer.  Today's current events have inspired me to get back on my bike, and raise awareness and fundraise for racial injustice and police brutality.

I will start in Cumberland, MD and head south towards Washington, DC, finishing the journey on Black Lives Matter Plaza. I plan to complete the journey in 2 days for a total of 200 miles. The journey starts on 9/26!

Join me in making a difference by supporting a good cause! I'm raising money for Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (via Thousand Currents) and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me :)

#BlacklivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by state and vigilantes. By combatting and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.
