Join me as I pedal through diverse landscapes, from the Pacific Northwest to the North-East Atlantic. I am dedicating this bike trip to raise funds to support Baskets From JoJo, my family’s 501-C-3 that is dedicated to gifting care baskets to cancer patients. If you desire please consider donating. Every donation counts and will help me to stay motivated to keep pedaling!
