Across a Great Divide

Five years ago, I began a journey that led me to help the extreme poor. In that time, I have learned the challenges people faced everyday that I can never imagined and how they endured their hardships. And though there are many wonderful people out there helping and making differences in their lives, society can also be cruel to the poor. With the current political and economic situations in the world creating uncertainties and worries, we tend to turn our focuses on ourselves first and not as much for those truly suffering in the world.

This summer, I am riding to raise awareness for people living in extreme poverty and for those who are suffering due to world conflicts. I will attempt to ride my bicycle from San Francisco to New York City ending at the doorsteps of the United Nations. I hope to talk to as many people willing to listen and to let everyone knows how it is possible for them to help as I ride across America. I will begin this ride alone, but I hope people will join along the way. 

I will post the complete route on the website and Facebook in the coming months for anyone who wishes to join in this ride. I hope through awareness, we will make this world better for everyone, especially for those who are suffering in the world everyday just because they were born into it and have little opportunities to have better lives.
