“Give a Bike is working to bring mobility, healthy life choices, and joy to United States Veterans, and underprivileged communities around the globe.” (http://www.giveabike.com/)
Talk about two crazy lovebirds! I felt like my husband and I really roughed it spending 19 nights in a backpacker’s tent while in Italy. It pales in comparison to what Christy and Adam are doing for their honeymoon. These two amazing people are touring 50 states on their bikes to create awareness and raise money for World Bicycle Relief and Achilles International.
You have to check out their website and blog for yourself because I cannot do it enough justice! Christy and Adam are just about halfway through their journey and have raised $18,000 of their $25,000 goal.

I love it! They will be the first people to complete an unsupported bike tour of all 50 statesJ!
How can we get involved?
-check out the website and blog and prepare to be inspired (and maybe even be a little jealous)
-help Christy and Adam reach their goal by donating! World Bicycle Relief provides bicycles for people in developing countries. Achilles International (Freedom Team of Wounded Vets) gives veterans who have lost a limb the ability to race by providing hand-cycles.
-“want to help” tab: http://www.giveabike.com/Want-to-Help-.html
The purpose of me doing this blog is to learn about the amazing things people like these two are doing in the name of helping others. Go Christy and Adam!
