Hi! My name is Trey Rodriguez and I will be serving as a Biking for Babies missionary again this year. As a part of that, I will be preparing physically and spiritually alongside my team to go on a 600 mile route from Maine to Pennsylvania over 6 days this summer. During this time I will be uniting my suffering with Christ's cross and advocating and supporting women in unplanned pregnancies.
I just graduated from the University of Hawaiʻi with a master’s in Sustainable Agriculture and am currently working as a research tech in the department I graduated from. When I am not working, you’ll probably find me out riding my bike or doing something bike related! The cycling aspect of this mission is what originally drew me to Biking for Babies (B4B), and as a supporter of life I was so excited to be supporting this mission. I am so excited to be able to live out my Catholic faith in this way and be able to grow into the disciple God is all calling us to be.
This is my second year as a B4B missionary and I am serving as a Team Leader this year for the Maine Team. I chose to sign up again and serve the mission even more as a team leader because B4B had such a big impact on me and how I live out my life for God. During our time in formation and then during the National Ride last year I was shown so many ways to live my life for God and His love for us, with a big help from my team. I learned new ways to be able to have conversations about how Pregnancy Resource Centers are so helpful to those in unplanned pregnancies, how to love others in new ways, and how to bring people to see the love God has for us. Being a B4B missionary completely changed my life (and I don’t say that lightly!) and I wanted to help others be able to be transformed in His love the same way I did.
Join me in Biking for Babies' mission by making a gift towards my fundraising campaign. Your gift supports our mission to renew the culture of life by forming young adult missionaries and raising awareness and funds for pregnancy resource centers that support pregnant women across the country. A donation to Biking for Babies goes straight to the mission of supporting life and also raising awareness and resources for the pregnancy centers across the nation.
Your donations will not be supporting our ride, food, travel, etc. but will be helping women in need. Some examples would be:
-Counselling, pregnancy tests, STI tests, and ultrasounds. An ultrasound can cost around $500!
-Supplies after the birth, such as food, diapers, car seats, cribs, parental groups, support groups, etc.
Your donation will have a direct impact on the life of the child and their family! If you cannot support financially, please pray for these mothers, the children, and their families. Prayers for everyone involved with Biking for Babies will also be appreciated! Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I will be praying for you during this time also!
