Bike and Build
On May 21, 2010 I will set off from Virginia Beach, VA on a cross-country bicycle trip to raise funds for affordable housing programs. The trip – called Bike & Build – will consist of 32 young adults bicycling from Virginia Beach, VA to Cannon Beach, OR. While on the road we will meet with members of the communities we pass through, and teach them about the affordable housing issue. Our goal is to encourage them to become more involved in their communities. In addition, during some of the days of our trip we will trade our bikes for hammers, and help construct affordable homes with local affordable housing organizations.
I’ll be updating my blog (the home page) with updates from the road as we begin the ride!

Donate!
The trip is not about me just biking across the country, I’m doing it to support and raise money and awareness for affordable housing! You can donate (tax-deductible) at the link right above or HERE! Make sure to select my name to make the donation in
So basically, next summer, the summer of 2010, I will be biking across the country (east to west) and helping to build homes, and raise awareness and money for affordable housing with the habitat for humanity and other affordable housing groups all summer!
In order to make the trip, I will need to raise $4,000. That money goes to support the affordable housing organizations with whom we work over the summer, into a competitive grant program for affordable housing, and to support my trip and the organization’s administration.
