When Life Gives You Lemons - Make Lemon Aid

Donation protected
Hello World! Excited to announce the "When Life Gives You Lemons Tour 2020". Since 2020 has been a bit tough it seems appropriate to put a bit of good back into the world. This adventure will consist of an 48 state motorcycle tour around the United States, or at least as many states as I can! Covering approximately 12,000 miles (19,000 km) while using random acts of kindness to make 2020 a bit better for people. As some of you may know my family recently lost my amazing grandmother, Evelyn Bahret or affectionately known as Granny B. This trip will be dedicated to her. The 2 key goals of the trip are to inject smiles and happiness into the world with random acts of kindness and also to help my family with my grandmother's final expenses. This trip also allows me to quench my thirst for adventure however this adventure will come with a purpose. Please note NO FUNDS FROM THIS CAMPAIGN will be used to finance this trip. All donations will go directly to random people across the United States and 19.32% (year Granny B was born) of the funds will go to my family to purchase my grandmother's gravestone (approx. $1300). Any donation amount is fine! Smaller donations will be used for coffees for people behind me in line or to buy lunch for the elderly couple eating across the restaurant. Invite everyone who is donating to suggest how they wish for me to bring the random act of kindness to life and will do my best to make it happen ...Pay for gas, food or shoes for a homeless person, childrens toys, coffee, buying the tires for a family vehicle, whatever...within reason of course :) Would also ask that all the people donating make short video (10-20 seconds) with a kind word or positive message that I can then show to the random people receiving their donation. Would go like this....Hello random person im Bobby Jackson with the "when life gives you lemons tour"...you don't know me or "insert name of benefactor" who lives e.g. 10000 miles away in "insert location" but they want to fill up your car with gas today and here is a message from them "show video". The video request is personal touch to this campaign and really important because it is far too often we are asked to donate to a cause and are never able to see the tangible results of our efforts. The "When Life Gives You Lemons Tour" will let everyone who donates see how their kindness is impacting the world a see the happiness and joy the donation creates. Really looking for to this adventure and can't wait to add a little bit of positivity back into 2020 with all of your help. Please follow my adventures on instagram @LemonAid20 Would appreciate if all donation videos are sent to the instagram above or by email to [email redacted] Plan to leave in the next few weeks so please don't delay with your donations and please share with your friends and family. Many Thanks, Bobby Jackson  #lifeisforliving #lemonlife2020 #random #kindness #familyfirst #adventure  Me, My Mom, & Granny B  (Evelyn) This is the bike I'll be using... I've named her Evelyn. This is a rough idea of the route I'll be taking. Heading west first. Although I will not be accepting donations to pay for my trip I will be accepting places to camp, comfy couches and home cooked meals. Hands up people! Also would be great to connect with local breweries or other organisations that are aligned to this kind of initiative. So please put me in touch. Really looking forward to catching up with old friends where possible too. If anyone would like to join on any leg of this adventure please reach out...or if anyone could assist with making this campaign more impactful (need a logo for example) please get in touch. This trip will be completed in a covid safe manner adhering to all local, state, and national directives. Please keep this in mind when suggesting how you would like your donation carried out. Any requests that are unable to be completed for any reason will be carried out in an appropriate manner inline with the spirit of this campaign.
