Hello! We are the Stanford Spokes 2025 team, cycling and teaching in rural communities from Stanford, CA to Washington, DC this summer.

Unfortunately, while traveling through Missouri, we were involved in a car accident and had no choice but to scrap our support van. Thankfully, everyone on the team is okay.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of donors like you, we have had so many incredible experiences during our journey and connected with many wonderful students across the country!

This trip has been tough--we've biked through heat waves and snow, and on busy highways; we've fixed countless flat tires, dealt with communicating without cell service, and camped in thunderstorms and brutal humidity. But we truly love what we are doing, and we've made it so far. We really don't want our trip to be cut short, and we need your help to make it to DC.

We are currently raising funds to cover the cost of renting a U-Haul cargo van to serve as our support vehicle for the rest of the trip as well as costs for shipping all of our gear back to Stanford at the end of our trip.

Please consider donating if you can; we deeply appreciate any amount you can give!

A special thank you for those of you who have been avid readers of our blog!
