I'm raising money for Bikes Not Bombs because I believe in their mission to "use the bicycle as a vehicle for social change to achieve economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South."
Every year, Bikes Not Bombs refurbishes donated bikes for sale and further donation, and trains new aspiring bike riders, commuters and mechanics. Through completing BnB no-or-low-cost educational programs, participants can earn their own bicycle and helmet! They are a wonderful community organization and resource, and I'm thrilled to be fundraising for them again, as well as having extra motivation to get out there and pedal.
The 2022 Bike-a-thon is coming up so very soon, on Sunday, September 11th. Please consider donating if you can!
