Both Northern and Southern California have been hit HARD by devastating wildfire in the past week. The Camp Fire in Butte County of northern Cali is now the deadliest in California history with 57 dead and over 300 missing as of Wednesday night– and one of the most destructive, with over 8,000 homes utterly decimated and nearly 140,000 acres burned. The fires are still going.
I am donating $1 for every mile I ride this week at Cyclebar-Berkeley to California Wildfire Relief efforts through the Red Cross– and I am inviting you to MATCH my donation, and/or give ANY amount you can.
I have found an incredibly generous anonymous donor who is going to MATCH whatever we raise (up to $1000) to further multiply our efforts! That means your contribution will be DOUBLED.
Sometimes it feels like we can’t make a difference if we can only give a small amount, but every single contribution helps. There are nearly 330 million people in the U.S., and if every person gave just $1 – well, you can do the math. :) Any amount you can give brings people that much closer to recovering, and relieves that much burden on those affected.
I’ll be posting my mileage here and on Instagram (@lizzard_hm). Follow along for updates! The match challenge will go from Sunday 11/11 to Sunday 11/18, but I’m going to leave donations open until Wednesday 11/21. I’ll add my donations on this coming Sunday!
I am so so appreciative of all the people who have already pledged to match me – you are amazing, and I am touched by your generosity. Please share and spread awareness. There are a lot of great fundraising opportunities out there, and they are all helpful. Please consider giving through here so we can DOUBLE your impact from our donor match.
As a note, I want the money we raise to go specifically to California wildfire relief efforts via the Red Cross, and since there is not that specific option through GoFundMe, I have set this up as a personal fundraiser.
It’s also all on my Instagram page (@lizzard_hm) in the highlights and my story. Please message me with questions! I’ll do my best to respond ASAP, but please know I am on a tight deadline to finish my dissertation so I am a little swamped!
California! We are a FAMILY!
I ride for you, and we ride as one. Through everything.
As a note, I chose the Red Cross because it donates approximately 0.91 cents on the dollar for disaster relief, and it has the organization and infrastructure to provide help on a massive scale - which is what this disaster calls for.
