Here is why I ride for Bikes Not Bombs
On Sunday, September 10th, I will be riding 63 miles (100km) as part of "Bikes Not Bombs" Annual Bike-A-Thon, which is their annual fundraising event.
If you have not spent much time in Boston, you maybe have not heard about Bikes Not Bombs,
but! you should!!
They are a stellar non-profit, who uses bicycle as a vehicle for social change:
Bikes not Bombs runs regular trainings for young people to learn to fix their own bikes and become employable mechanics
They also run a similar program, Sisters in Action, for women
Furthermore, Bikes Not Bombs does organize regular family group rides in Boston
And Bikes Not Bombs build donated bicycles, sell portion of them at their shop (I got my first bike in US from them!), while another much larger portion they send to international partner communities in countries such as Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana, St. Kitts & Nevis, El Salvador, Sierra Leone, and Guatemala.
I'd appreciate it if you can support my effort to support them, and donate to help me reach my fundraising goal ($350) or even exceed it!
