The summer of 2010 will be a very new experience for me. I will be assisting 29 brothers as they ride across the country on bicycles from San Francisco, California to Washington D.C. The Journey of Hope is a 64 day bike ride across the country. During the day the cyclists will ride an average of 80 miles with the help and aid of my crew and I; During the nights we will be providing friendship visits to local communities for people with disabilities.
Journey of Hope is an event sponsored by Push America, our fraternities national philanthropy. I am very proud to say that Pi Kappa Phi is the only fraternity to own and operate its own philanthropy. Pi Kappa Phi has not only given me a chance to meet some great guys, it has also given me a chance to help serve people with disabilities by riding across the country for them.
This ride will not be easy, it will be a very tough life changing experience. We will be waking at 5:30 every morning and riding during the hottest part of the day, then stopping in towns for our friendship visits before we go to sleep around 9.
I plan to keep a daily journal of the events each day and post them on my website: http://www.mattadam.com
I need your help!
I have the motivation and time and heart to ride across the country for people with disabilities, I just do not have enough fundraising yet. For me to be able to participate in Journey of Hope I need to raise a total of $6,000.
Any donations will help! Feel free to use the donation link at the top of this page or the link here:
You can also write me checks payable to “Push America”
