Today I biked to work not only to save on gas money but also to prepare for a bike ride I am doing this summer with a group of others. It is called Pedal for a Purpose. We are raising money to provide jobs in Jackson, MS. The money will go towards starting a business for installing solar panels.
When I first heard about the ride I was excited because it was impacting a community. When I heard where it made the purpose so much more than just a bike ride from Orange City, IA to Jackson, MS in the middle of the summer. Fact is I love Jackson, MS and the people there a few years ago back in college I went there twice once as a team member and the next year as a team leader on a service project. What better way to impact a community outside of college.
So back to riding my bike. I love it! It is time spend outside, in creation and makes you slow down and enjoy it for once.
Check out my fundraising page and feel free to support me.
