Bike for Humanity: Team Srini Race Across America

 

BIKING FOR HUMANITY

Srinivas Gokulnath, a proud Indian, serving the Indian Armed Forces as a Doctor for 18 years, is Biking Across America to promote a healthy lifestyle for India, along with supporting families of Martyrs’ widows of the Indian Armed Forces.

When a soldier sacrifices his life for the love of his country, their wives & children go through social implications, fear, emotional stress and financial burden.

As a United Nations Peacekeeper from India in South Sudan, he has enabled & empowered 150 girls to ride a bicycle by raising funds for 12 bicycles by running 100 km in 12 hours.

About the Race

For 42 years, Race Across America (RAAM) has been challenging ultra cyclists from around the globe to push their physical and mental limits to the farthest reaches. The race starts in Oceanside, California, spans over 3000 miles, climbs 175,000 feet, crosses 12 states, and finishes in Annapolis, Maryland. This June 2023, Srini will be racing in RAAM with a commitment to win the race and bring glory to Karnataka, India and the cycling community in general. 

The funds generated through this race will cater to the event expenses and the remaining will be contributed to Vasantharatna Foundation, to empower the wives of India’s Martyrs.

Looking forward to all of you joining hands to rebuild lives and make a difference! Your involvement will create a support system to build a sustainable future for the families of Martyrs .
