Yes! I plan on riding my bicycle 3,800 miles across the USA.

This summer I hope to do two things that are very close to my heart, riding my bicycle and helping the poor. God willing, I will be doing both things at the same time by undertaking an epic bicycle ride with The Fuller Center for Housing.

The cyclists that I’ll be riding with have all committed to providing about 8 days of labor during this ride, to build or repair the homes of those who are in need. We have also committed to living very simply, sleeping on the floors of gracious and generous church hosts. The funds that we raise will go toward providing suitable housing for people who have very little means of doing so for themselves.

How you can help:

MAKE A DONATION

My goal is to raise $7,000 to help. Please consider making a one-time donation using the “Donate” link on this page.

RIDE

If you are a cyclist, you can join me for the ride. You can sign up for any number of the one-week segments that may be of interest to you. There are ten weeks in total if you want to do the whole ride.

COME ALONG, VOLUNTEER, and PRAY

The rides do need crucial support volunteers, media interns, and prayer. Your prayers for health, safety, and a great team would be highly appreciated. THANK YOU so much! This is a team event, and it’s not just the riders: by helping, YOU are part of the team!

About the Fuller Center

The Fuller Center is a 501(c)(3) ecumenical Christian organization that believes everyone in the world deserves the opportunity to have a decent home in which to live. Millard and Linda Fuller were self-made millionaires who gave away their fortune in 1969 to follow God's leading. They lived the rest of their lives on humble means and dedicated themselves to providing decent housing to over a million people in 100 countries around the world, culminating in their founding of the Fuller Center in 2005.

The Fuller Center builds and repairs homes using volunteers in partnership with families, who help with the work and pay it forward using a no-profit, no-interest loan that gets repaid to help more families.

It works through a grassroots network of volunteer-driven Fuller Centers in 90 U.S. towns and cities and in 20 countries around the world. Work includes community transformation in El Salvador, Armenia and Madagascar as well as disaster recovery in places like Mayfield, Kentucky and in Haiti to name a few. The Fuller Center has built or repaired over 8,000 homes – enough to house 30,000 people!

The Fuller Center is known for maximizing donations by putting as much of the funds towards the work as possible. Their independent audit estimated that 94% of the funds go directly to program expenses, with only 6% to administrative and fundraising costs. This is a MUCH higher percentage than the industry standard which is 65% to program. The organization is also rated GuideStar Platinum, the charity evaluator's highest certification.
