I'm spending June 11-August 16 riding my bike from Providence to San Francisco! My adventure is with Bike and Build, a nonprofit organization whose motto is Pedaling to End Poverty Housing. During my nine week journey I will not only ride nearly 4,000 miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but spend several days at build sites too, assisting with the construction of homes for those in need.The kids on my trip include a diverse group of college students and graduates, but we are unified in the fact that we are concerned about social justice in our country and psyched to spend a summer sleeping on floors and at campsites and sporting crazy tan lines! One of the best parts of this summer will be seeing the change we have created. When we arrive in San Francisco on August 16, we will have constructed clean and affordable living spaces for multiple families, and in the process spread awareness about the affordable housing crisis to many.
