Story

Join us in supporting the RAFA Rides: 2024 campaign, where cyclists from around the world unite to uplift the RAF community. Last year, over 1,000 global participants came together and raised an incredible £110,000. This year, we're aiming even higher! As part of RAFA Rides Team USA, I am embarking on a journey to raise GBP1,000 for charity. On June 08, 2024, I will be riding the Brize Norton 100-mile route in the UK.

A lot of you will know that I actually quite enjoy cycling so I am hoping that the prospect of 330 miles over three days seems miserable enough to encourage even the most skeptical to donate. As such, upon my return to the USA in July, I will take on the Allegheny Gap Trail and the C and O canal trail - a challenging 330-mile ride from Pittsburgh to Georgetown in just 3 days, unsupported. Together, let's make a difference and support this meaningful cause.
