Help Ace get to Dakar in 2023!

I am chasing a dream...

Since I was a young boy, I can recall watching the early highlights of the Dakar Rally with my Dad in the 1980's and thinking how amazing it would be to compete in an event like that. It is the equivalent of racing the Tour De France for those that follow cycling.

For the last four years, I have been training and competing with the end goal of entering the Dakar Rally in 2023.

The Dakar Rally is the pinnacle of all rally events in the world. The Dakar rally for 2023 will be held in Saudi Arabia and cover more than 6,000 miles over 12-15 days.

Unfortunately, as difficult as it might be, qualifying is not the most challenging task at hand. The biggest challenge to competitors aspiring to compete at Dakar is raising funds to pay for the entry, bike rental, pit support and travel to and from the event. This cost is estimated to be more than $100,000. To a single individual, this amount of money is likely an unobtainable goal. However, with the help and support of many, anything is possible!

To my friends, family and fellow dreamers, I would greatly appreciate your support!
