 A Bit About the Tour
Adam and Christy Coppola are two
ordinary people with an extraordinary passion for the outdoors, adventure, and
giving forward to communities in need.
They have decided to put their careers on hold in order to bike all 50
of the United States…. bicycle that is… no gasoline involved here!
The Idea: It came upon us over a sushi dinner. We boiled down all
of our passions(giving forward, adventure, traveling, photography and
writing) into one pretty cool plan. We want to bike all 50
states for charity. Our charities, World Bicycle Relief and Achilles
international, will help us get bikes to those who aren't as fortunate
as us. (You can read more about our charities here)
The Tour: Starting in January, 2011 we'll ride our bicycles throughout all 50 United States. We're carrying all of our gear: tents, sleeping bags, food,
computers, camera gear... you know... the important stuff! We'll be
camping out mostly in order to save money, but if you'd like to host us
for a night, we won't back down from that offer! Let us know if you
wouldn't mind 2 stinky cyclists for a night!! Email us:
giveabike@gmail.com
The Cause: We are riding in
hopes of spreading understanding about the impact a bicycle can have on a
family in Africa, an at-risk child in the U.S., or a disabled U.S.
Veteran. We are raising money for World Bicycle Relief and Achilles International. We are collecting donations on our donation page
and with your help, we will be scheduling presentations, ride alongs, meet-and-greets, and used bike collections in the areas we visit! We want to
get the word out to as many people as possible to create a larger impact.
