Starting at the end of May 2026, I will be cycling across the country, following the TransAmerica Route from the Altantic Ocean in Yorktown, VA to the Pacific Ocean in Astoria, OR. In general, I will be traveling by myself without a support vehicle, though a few friends are planning on joining me for a few days here and there. If you would like to be one of those friends, let me know!! The trip will take me about 2.5 months, and I will primarily be tent camping along the way. You can follow my journey on my online journal at cgoab.com/littlemoose.

In order to fund the trip, I am inviting YOU to sponsor me while also supporting Scouting America Troop 448 of Lakewood, CO. Half of the money raised will be donated to Troop 448 to help fund Eagle Scout projects and to provide scholarships for scouts interested in going on high adventure trips. My experiences as a scout as a youth, and now as an adult leader in this troop, have been incredibly formative throughout my life. Being a scout instilled in me a love for outdoor adventure and has empowered me to set and plan for achieving audacious goals. I am currently an assistant scoutmaster in Troop 448, and my son is working toward the Star rank. With your financial support, you can help me achieve a lifelong goal of pedaling across the country from coast to coast, while also making a real impact on the lives of young people. Troop 448 is a vibrant and welcoming troop with several active female and male scouts and leaders.

Any donation amount is welcomed and appreciated in supporting this effort. Donations of $30 or more will guarantee a postcard from me during my journey as a thank you. Donations of $60 or more will guarantee a second postcard from me during my journey. If you would like to receive these en route thank you notes, make sure to complete this short Google Form (with your name, donation amount, and mailing address) and include your name with your donation on the GoFundMe page. I promise not to share your information with any other party; I just need a way to collect mailing addresses for the postcards. Thank you for your love and support as I pursue this lifetime opportunity!!!
