Bike Tour for CHILD USA

Tax deductible
On Sunday, July 28th, I will begin a 1,200 mile bicycle trek around Pennsylvania in support of CHILD USA. The trip will take around 2 weeks to complete.

Child abuse is an unacceptable yet prevalent feature of our society. CHILD USA is a nonprofit dedicated towards conducting evidence-based legal, medical, and social science research to identify laws and policies affecting child protection. They have initiatives, some of which I have listed below:

 - Statute of Limitations Reform: extending the arbitrary deadlines for criminal and civil offenses for child sexual abuse
 - Ending Gay Conversion Therapy
 - Battling Abuse and Neglect of Athletes
 - Addressing Medical Neglect and Vaccine Avoidance: exterminating nebulous religious exemptions to protect the health and safety of children
- Improve the Handling of Children's Rape Kits
 - Prevent all Unlawful Child Marriages

It's been found that about 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused as minors. Pennsylvania ranks as one of the worst states for certain Statute of Limitation policies and religious exemptions that thwart interventions by Child Protective Services.

This cause is one that is special to me for many reasons, and that is why I want to make my best effort athletically and philanthropically to benefit it. CHILD USA depends on donations to continue benefiting these children, as well as previous victims who have been shut out of the system, and so I kindly ask that you consider donating.

If you would rather 2.6% + 30¢ of your donation not go to processing fees, please use the direct link below to support CHILD USA. If you do, please let me know how much you donated so I can keep track as well!
