If you know my mom and I, you know that we enjoy biking everywhere and love to support Bikes Not Bombs (BNB), an organization committed to bringing bicycling into people's lives here in Boston, and around the world.  I have biked to school with my mom almost every single day, even in the winter, for as long as I can remember. My mom and I have always biked together in the Bike-A-Thon, but this year she is working the event as a staff member of BNB, so I have decided to keep the tradition alive and bike the 10 miles once again! 

Here's some info about Bikes Not Bombs from my mom: BNB is a mission driven organization that has been advocating the bicycle as a vehicle for social change and empowerment for over 30 years.  At the local level, Youth Pathways Programs like Earn-A-Bike and Girls In Action teach teens bicycle safety and maintenance, environmentalism, and build confidence and all while enabling them to earn a bike of their own they built themselves! Local teens are also able to participate in Youth Pathways Employment Programs which focus on professional development skills including peer leadership. Internationally, BNB repurposes and ships 1000s of bikes annually to economic development programs through partners in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.

I am really proud and really ecxited to ride the Bike-A-Thon this year to support everyone's ability to utilize the bicycle as a vehicle for social change. Please support me and Bikes Not Bombs by making a contribution to our campaign and clicking the button below. All of the proceeds go to BNB and your donation is tax deductible. Thank you so much! And thanks to all of you who have supported me and my mom throughout the years! Your proceeds will help and inspire a new generation of Bike riders, who will go on to become wonderful leaders! :)
