Ride the divide for animals
Donation protected
Welcome to my fundraising page!
100% of what i make will go to the 2 nonprofits listed below. (i will be covering all of my own food/gear/travel costs, and i have a sweet support team -all volunteering as well)
As of July 1st, 2016, i am heading off on a 3 month, epic (mostly solo) 2,750+ mile bikepack on the worlds longest off-pavement route. It runs from Banff, Canada to Antelope Wells, NM (on the Mexican border) and it's called the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. It crosses the divide 32 times and has over 200,000 ft of elevation gain -the equivalent of climbing Everest 7X.
I am a caring, ethical vegan who appreciates the work of factory farm undercover investigators. (Exposing the abuse that runs rampant throughout the animal agriculture industry is critical.) Since I can't imagine being in their shoes, I am doing this ride to raise $ for their work to continue.
Ultimately i am doing this for all farmed animals! (Animals killed worldwide just for Americans' food in 2009 was 8.3 billion land animals and 51 billion sea animals.)(more than 150 billion worldwide.)
I want to help raise awareness of their existance so they (and their by-products) stop ending up on a plate. I want to expose their unnecessary suffering. I want to inspire others to make compassionate, vegan lifestyle choices. I want to live in a world where compassion towards all species and our planet outshines our human centered choices.
