Hi Friends and Family,

I need your help to raise $200 to support Bikes Not Bombs this year.  Bikes Not Bombs is a non-profit in our neighborhood of Jamaica Plain that trains and employs young people in the Boston-area in bike mechanics. 

Nate and I have done the Bike-A-Thon almost every year since 2014 and this year we're bringing along Enda and Aidan! I have immense respect for the organization's transformative work with the youth of Boston.  In addition, they work internationally with communities in Ghana, Sierre Leon, Nevis, Northern Uganda, Guatemala, Kenya and El Salvador.  These partner bike shops train entrepreneurs to build and sell bicycles which can then be used as economical transportation in those communities. 

We need your help to make sure that Bikes Not Bombs continues to help 12-18 year olds in Boston to realize their potential as mechanics, mentors, community leaders, international representatives and advocates for a safer, cleaner Boston.  

Nate will be riding with Enda and Aidan on the workcycle, and I'll be riding alongside on my own bike.  

Thanks!
