Awareness Ride Across America: San Francisco to United Nations (NYC)
June 21st to August 10th
The cycling event will begin in San Francisco on June 21st and will wind its way across America for 49 days to finally end at the gate of the United Nations in New York City. The goal for the ride is to raise awareness for people living in extreme poverty in the world.
About 850 million people live in extreme poverty according to UN and WHO data. This number is probably higher if more accurate counts can be made. In any case, there are too many people who are living in poor conditions with little opportunities. In these situations, millions of children have little or no opportunities for education and are at risks to many human rights abuses.
The route for the ride is attached and we encourage people to join us along the way for a short segment or for the entire ride. We will update our location as the ride progresses and share with everyone our thoughts on our website and Facebook page at www.facebook.com/fhlfoundation. Contact us for more information.
