What's this about?


“We have the know-how in the world to house everyone.
We have the resources in the world to house everyone.
All that’s missing is the will to do it.”
 - Millard Fuller

Hey friends!  I am biking with a group of 30 other folks from Nags Head, NC to San Diego, CA this summer to raise money, spread awareness, and put in physical work for affordable housing in the US.  We will be on the road from May 13th to July 21st, and this blog will serve as my communique to the outside world about what I'm up to for these 2+ months.  

I plan on posting relatively short entries and uploading a lot of photos from my phone.  I hope to share some great stories so that you have an understanding of why I chose to do Bike & Build and what this cause means to me.  I will miss summer and my friends in pvd!  Feel free to leave comments here or email me - I will have very intermittent phone/internet access so I apologize in advance.

You can follow my route HERE to see my stops, mail-drops, build days, etc.
