(This is the text from a GoFundMe campaign I started. NO money contributed will go towards the trip. ALL will go to the organizations, less GoFundMe fees.)
Hi! My name is Dave Berrang and I am riding my bicycle from my home in Portland, Maine to Seattle – 4,000 miles give or take. I thought that it may be a good time to raise money for 3 interconnected nonprofit groups; Gear Hub (local), Bicycle Coalition of Maine (state), and Rails to Trails Conservancy (national). Together these organizations are building greater and safer access to bicycling all the while building community and a fundamental access point for basic transportation. While you may not live in Portland or Maine or the US, the work these groups do is representative of work being done across the country, and the world. My method of distribution is to take the total and divide by 3. If you’d prefer to give directly, awesome.
Follow me at dberrang.blog. Or the facebook page DBerrang bikes west.
Cheers! And Thank You
