Hello everyone, all fellow cyclists and crazy adventurers!
In the time of video games, action packed movies, and massive amounts so sugary snacks, people have forgotten that fun and exercise used to be the same thing. I have finally found something that I wished to do to not only push my physical being but to push my limits.
In the summer of 2012, May 20, 2010 until complete (approx. 2.5 to 3 months), I will be biking from my home in Anacortes, Washington to Manhattan, New York, over 4000 miles!! Biking till my a** falls off!!!
Every year many like myself embark on this adventure, some alone, some in groups. But regardless, it takes money to get the wheel rolling. My main goal is to fundraise $3000 by April 16, 2012 which will allow everyday meals, campsites, and the oh so sought after shower.
I have been reaching out to family and friends, holding bake sale fundraisers, illustrating cards and paintings, all these funds going towards the Cross Country Tour. With each donation of $5 or more, you will be sent a thank you note along with one of the cards I have illustrated.
Here are some donation suggestions:
- Anything up to $30 for collage/graduate students.
- $70 funds about $1 per mile for one day (I will be doing an average of 70 miles a day)
- $100 is a combination of the two and not out of reach!
So far this process has really been amazing and the fundraising though networking and bake sales has too! Everyone I have spoke to has been supportive of the trip! I have found that the more people I get in touch with, the more encouraged I am!!
Spread the word of the weird girl who is going to bike till her a** falls off!!
