The new blog!

Hey y'all! This is my new blog that I hope to keep updated throughout the summer. When I cycled across the country with Bike & Build two summers ago, I had planned to use my blog to reflect on the amazing experience and post pictures. But I was only good about submitting for the first couple of weeks, and I never got around to posting pictures. I hope to change that this time. For starters, I am SO excited about doing Bike & Build again! This will definitely be one of the most amazing summers of my life, and I can't wait for June 19th!

For those who do not already know, Bike & Build is a non-profit organization that raises money and awareness for the affordable housing cause. All participants will cycle (yes, ride a bicycle) across the country, spreading the word of B&B, inspiring others to help defeat poverty housing in the US. All riders are responsible for raising $4000 before embarking on our journey, and the majority of this is donated to affordable housing organizations (such as Habitat for Humanity, Rebuilding Together, etc) around the nation to help them help others. Bike & Build is an amazing organization that supports an important cause that is often overlooked in the US. I have always been a huge supporter of Habitat for Humanity, and I am honored to have the opportunity to ride across the country for it once again.
