The Mission My
American
TourHeart disease and stroke top the leading causes of fatal illness in America. There is high probability you may have already been touched. Maybe a relative or friend or neighbor has suffered? These diseases also debilitate and rob victims of their quality of life. Men. Women. Dads. Moms. Brothers. Sisters. There’s no discrimination. But there is hope Studies have proven that healthy, nutritional and active lifestyles can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It’s my hope that by raising critical research funds and awareness about prevention, I can help make a positive difference. So, starting in Neah Bay Washington this fall, I will bicycle from the Northwest across America to Key West Florida. My 4200-mile journey will last 3 months and includes stops at local schools and media outlets to educate on the importance of nutrition and an active, healthy lifestyles. Sponsorships and gifts received help cover costs and will be directed to the Ventura County Division of the American Heart Association. Already in my young life, I’ve accomplished many things and it has only made me reach higher. I’ve long loved nature, travel and new challenges - whether rock or ice climbing, running or cycling. Some recent experiences range from riding elephants in Thailand to hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu to climbing the Chanchani Volcano in southern Peru at 6075m/19931 ft. And more- When asked why I am doing this cross-country bike trek, I say it is because I want to engage people - and especially kids, our leaders of tomorrow - to know that they can make a difference too - starting with themselves and healthy habits. Every day. My philosophy is simple: "I want to make the most of everyday and follow my dreams." With your support, we can help make a positive difference. "Thank you for any financial or in-kind support you can provide in helping dreams come true."
