I'm excited to join a community of like-minded people in the 2026 Century Challenge, a fundraiser supporting Bikes Not Bombs. I'm asking for your support to help make a meaningful difference. Every donation, large or small, brings us closer to our fundraising goal and helps create lasting impact.

As someone who believes everyone deserves access to affordable transportation and economic opportunity, I'm proud to support Bikes Not Bombs through this year's Century Challenge. Cycling has been an important part of my life, so supporting an organization that uses bicycles to create opportunity feels especially meaningful to me.

On October 4, I'll be taking on the 100-mile Imperial Century route to help raise funds for this incredible organization. Every mile I ride is fueled by the generosity of friends, family, and supporters like you.

If you're not familiar with Bikes Not Bombs, they use bicycles as a vehicle for social change, creating opportunities for economic mobility for Black and other marginalized communities in Boston and the Global South. Your donation helps fund programs that:

• Advocate for safe, accessible, and equitable transportation in Boston.
• Ship more than 1,500 reclaimed bicycles each year to grassroots partner organizations in countries such as Uganda, Kenya, and El Salvador, providing reliable transportation and supporting local economic development.
• Empower more than 30 young people in Boston through paid Youth Apprenticeships, equipping them with valuable job skills and a foundation for economic mobility.

In addition to these community programs, Bikes Not Bombs operates a full-service bicycle shop and training center that restores bicycles, promotes sustainable transportation, and creates employment opportunities.

Thank you for taking the time to support our team and this incredible organization. If you're able, please consider making a donation. Every contribution helps Bikes Not Bombs continue transforming lives, one bicycle at a time.
