Our Mission Stated.

Through Gary's eyes. We miss you man.

On the charity bike trip our route may have changed but the mission remains the same: To use our hobbies and talents to help others. The 3,500 mile cycling trip from Atlantic to Pacific was a self-generated social movement. We made the decision to stop talking and to take action. The result is proof that we are all capable of effecting positive change. The adventure put us on the path to meet dozens of people on human terms. We’ve been inspired by humanity’s natural propensity for good.

We have completed Charity Bike Trip. It is now the time to reflect on our journey and tally our donation totals. Once we determine the total amount our supporters have donated we will reach out to our partner institutions– the Traumatic Brain Injury Association of New Jersey and the National Parkinson’s Disease Fund. These institutions will encourage individuals and their families to write a letter to The Golden Interior Fund. In turn we begin meeting with individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease and those who have survived traumatic brain injuries. Inevitably, the final decision and allocation of the funds you’ve donated will be a profound job.

This trip will continue at home. We are social entrepreneurs and for the remainder of the summer we’ll maximize our effort of raising money by extending ourselves. In the upcoming weeks we’ll hold garage sales for the Golden Interior Fund, collect bicycles to send kids to school, and start accepting letters of requests from individuals wishing to receive assistance.

The Golden Interior Fund continues to grow. Charitybiketrip.com was only the first journey for our philanthropic adventure. In the years to come we will send more teams across the country using the Golden Interior Way. We will recruit philanthropic adventurers in our communities and universities. Even though we made the trip “out of our pocket” and with the help of close friends and supporters, this fall we will partner with businesses across the country to sponsor the next group of riders. In the spring we will help the next group of philanthropic adventurers train for the trip and encourage them to use bicycles as alternate transportation.

Our goals are to give to others and pass on the gift. It is important for us to give of our time. We believe in a responsibility to lead with action and example.
