I am an 8-year-old student and athlete from Annandale, Virginia. I began riding bicycles at 3-years-old and racing at 5. While I love racing, I am passionate about cycling advocacy and the use of bicycles as a tool to better the environment, my community, and myself. I also happen to think cycling is a lot of fun. So if I can have fun doing good things, what could be better?
On Saturday, August 18, 2012 I will become the youngest competitor ever to bike up Mount Washington, a 7.6 mile all-uphill race to the summit of the highest peak in the northeastern United States. The Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb is the largest annual fundraiser for Tin Mountain Conservation Center.
You can help me support a great environmental organization, The Tin Mountain Conservation Center, which has provided environmental education to over 75,000 students, campers and individuals throughout schools and communities in Northern New Hampshire and western Maine for over 30 years.
I have been selected for a junior scholarship to enter this race. In return, I hope to become the top fundraiser for this wonderful organization. Please donate even a single dollar if you can. Even if you can't donate, please share this link with anyone you think may be interested. Thank you!!!!
