The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts

We are closing in quickly on Massachusetts Beer Week, March 6-14, and to celebrate this week of Massachusetts Craft Beer I am going to ride 100 virtual miles without leaving the brew house at The Brewery at Four Star Farms!  As a professional brewer and co-founder of Pedal 2 Pints, I have spent countless hours brewing, riding, and enjoying beer.  I have had the great fortune of recently opening the new Brewery at Four Star Farms and that would not have been possible without the support of our local community right here in Western Mass.  During Mass Beer Week I am going to use my brew house and cycling to raise some money for the Food Bank of Western Mass, an organization who works tirelessly to bring much needed resources directly to many of our neighbors. 

So join me in pulling out your wallet and giving whatever you can, EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR donated to this GoFundMe will go directly to the Food Bank.  I will be setting up my trainer and riding this virtual brew house hundred miles on Saturday March 13, so come on down and you can watch me sweat it out through the taproom windows!  Also, a percentage of that days taproom sales will also be donated to the Food Bank!  So donate a few dollars here and/ or come on down Saturday March 13, give me a wave, a thumbs up through the windows and buy some delicious beer knowing your helping support your community.   I will also be checking in at 50 miles, 75 miles, and finally at 100 miles via @fourstarbeer on Instagram live to talk about my progress.

You can follow along my training progress via Strava @chrissellers, or follow me on Zwift.

We are moving everyday to ensure that our community has what it needs to stay physically active and mentally healthy amongst this COVID-19 Pandemic. We want to put our movement to a greater usage and help raise some money for others. For the next week we would like to raise funds for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. On Wednesday 4/29/2020 we will do repetitions of various exercises for every dollar we raise for families who face hunger. 

Your donation dictates the number of reps we do. For every hundred dollars ($100) we receive we, as a team, will do: 
20 Body weight Squats 
5 Burpees 
2 Deadlifts (1.5x BW)
1 Muscle up

To express this slightly differently.

Every $5 we do a squat 
Every $20 we do a burpee 
Every $50 we do a deadlift 
Every $100 we do a muscle up
