Help the kids read good, because good is good
This is privilege. We have the unique opportunity to embark on a once in a lifetime adventure, while also raising money for a causes we care most about. We are driving from the South to the North of India (equivalent to driving from Washington DC to Cartegena, Colombia)... on unpaved roads...in a Tuk Tuk... in a motorized bicycle with a hood. This is the Rickshaw Run.
There’s no set route. Only a time limit and a finish line. The only certainty is that you will get lost, you will get stuck and you will break down. But yes, you will make it. And you’ll be better for it.
The goal is to experience a part of the world few have the privilege to see and to interact with people that aren’t accurately represented in a sound bite on cable news. It’s about visiting some of the oldest cities in the world and building friendships across continents.
We recognize that this privilege stems from education. And education starts with literacy. Without education none of this would have been possible. This is why we are giving back to those that can provide this gift to others.
