After spending the last 20 years working as a truck driver, I realized I haven’t truly had a life outside of work. I’ve always dreamed of seeing America up close—not from behind the wheel of a truck, but from the seat of a bicycle. Now that I’ve stopped working, and at 61 years old, I want to finally make that dream a reality.

I’m not retired yet, and I need a little help to make this journey possible. The funds I raise will go directly toward the essentials: motels for rest, food to keep me fueled, bike repairs to keep me moving, and camping sites for the nights when a motel isn’t available. Every bit of support will help me take another mile on this adventure.

I plan to share my daily adventures and hope to inspire others to chase their own dreams, no matter where they are in life. Your encouragement and support mean the world to me as I set out on this cross-country ride. I want everyone to know I’m not trying to scam anyone or make money off anyone’s hard-earned dollars. Thank you for believing in my journey!
