Cycling Cross Country Fundraiser

“Marisol Go”

I'm just a simple gal on two wheels with restless legs. 

My name is Marisol Gomez.  Some call me an extremist, but I just like to push my limits.

 Having played competitive sports most of this life, my aspirations continue to flourish.

For the last five years, I have thought about riding a bicycle cross-country.  When a friend told me he and his wife had bicycled from Long Beach, CA, to Long Beach, NY, it really got my gears turning.

After many years performing high impact activities, I started developing some pain in my feet.  So much so that I was using a cane just to help me stand.  
 
Running, hiking, backcountry camping, and cycling are what I enjoy doing on a regular basis.  I decided to really start pushing for the cross-country bicycle journey because I don’t know what my feet will be able to do later in life. 

But this ride isn’t just for me to see how far I could go, or to help become a minimalist, or to clear my mind and find answers. 

I'm also committed to make this ride about helping others.  

This is a fundraiser for some organizations I hold close.

Some of the most humble people are the ones fighting life-threatening illnesses.

Some of the sweetest souls don’t have a voice.

Some of the natural beauty we are surrounded by today, may not be here in the near future.

For people, for animals, for the environment, I hope to raise awareness and funds to make a difference.

If you can donate to reach this goal, you will make a difference!

 This is a self-supported, non-sponsored ride, so
100% of the funds will be donated to these organizations.

Shriner’s Hospitals for Children

Long Beach Animal Care Services

American Diabetes Association

National Multiple Sclerosis Society

Wounded Warriors Project

Planned Parenthood 

A tremendous thank you for your kind and generous hearts,

Marisol Gomez
