This August, I'm participating in Raise + Ride to fundraise for Phoenix Bikes, an Arlington nonprofit that uniquely combines youth education programs with a full service bike shop. Phoenix is a fantastic organization that educates youth in grades 6-12 in bike mechanics, allows them to earn their very own bike for free, and gets them out riding, racing, and giving back to the community with their new skills.
I started at Phoenix when I was 13. I have learned many things, including how to fix my bike and fix bikes for other people. I also pick up snacks from AFAC once a week and deliver them to Phoenix for the other kids. My favorite thing to do is bike race and I love being on the Phoenix Bikes Race Team.
I want to support Phoenix and the race team with my Raise + Ride to Purcellville and back. Please help me reach my Raise + Ride goal and support a great cause!
