BWSTW’s Morteh-Feinberg Ride For Haven House

On June 17th, 2020, my best friend Jeff and I celebrated our birthday with a 100-mile bike ride. 12 twelve people of various backgrounds came together during a chaotic time to achieve a challenging goal that tested strength, commitment, and endurance. That experience started Bikes Will Save The World, and this ride to Philly is now an annual tradition. In 2021 we used the ride as a fundraiser for a local youth program, and this year we will do it again. June 10, 2023, we will ride 100 miles from Jersey City to Philadelphia (plus another 40 the following day from Philly to Princeton) as a fundraiser for Haven Adolescent Community Respite Center, an organization that provides vital, family-strengthening, community-based services for adolescents and their families experiencing family conflict, significantly reducing the risks of teen homelessness and incarceration. They provide counseling, positive opportunities for youth development, and short-term residential alternatives to incarceration or homelessness when necessary. If 12 people riding a bicycle to Philly can help one kid, then it's proof that "Bikes Will Save The World." 100 percent of the proceeds will go to Haven House for their continued efforts in providing services for adolescents and their families without stigma. Young people and their families will be provided with long-term solutions to family conflicts in which adolescence, poverty, social and political pressures, mental health and drug addiction intensify. https://www.havenrespite.org/ https://bikeswillsavetheworld.com/
