Discover the inspiring journey of a family as they undertake a remarkable family bike tour, biking across america on the legendary trans america trail. Their incredible effort raised over $100,000 for charity, dedicated to supporting Ukraine.
I and my family bicycled across the United States and raised over $100,000 and we crowdsourced four vehicles plus additional equipment. I always wanted to cycle across the US since I was in graduate school. There’s a route called the Transameric Bike Trail, 7,000 km, and we combined it with this NAFO activism. So, we cycled across the US, talked to Americans about Russia’s war in Ukraine and why it matters and crowdsourced. Even before we opened our mouths, they saw our bicycle jerseys or our t-shirts with uh Russia must pay uh messaging and they came up to us, asked us questions and gave donations. Ukraine needs the support because they’re fighting not for their own freedom only, but for our freedom. Ukraine is the front line against Russian aggression and Putin would not stop with Ukraine if he completely conquered Ukraine. And so this is a wider security issue. So, I think we will try continuing to be supportive of Ukraine financially, but also reaching out and going and talking to Americans about why Ukraine matters.
