NO BRAKES FOR PALESTINE: 40 MILES A DAY

Hi Everyone,

My name is Riley, I'm living in the Bay Area and I'll keep this simple:

I'm fundraising to support those affected by the genocide currently unfolding in Gaza.

The idea is to ride 40 miles a day, every day, and raise as much as possible in 30 days.

All funds will be donated to UNRWA - United Nations Relief and Works Agency- for Palestinian refugees.

The minimum amount I'd like to raise is $1,200.

Why 40 miles?

While I would like to turn this into a cross-country bike tour, I currently work full time.

40 miles a day is an achievable distance after work every day.

$1 per mile ridden amounts to $1,200 in 30 days.

Why a fixed gear?

It's the simplest bicycle there is mechanically.

Problems are easy to fix and keep me riding every day.

How YOU can help!

One-time donations are very appreciated, but pledge donations are better.

Please consider 25 cents/mile, 50 cents/mile, or $1/mile.

I'll be recording my miles on Strava.

I'll also be posting screenshots of my daily rides and total miles every day on my Instagram.

If this goes well, I'll do another 30-day fundraising period for a different Palestinian aid organization.
