Friends,

Two years ago, my friend Pife and I made the crazy decision to pedal 150 miles on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP Trail) on a tandem bike. I swore I'd never do it again. 

Well, this weekend I'm doing it again. 

The three day 150 mile ride is this weekend! & I've set a goal of $2,000.  Money raised will go towards supporting Hospitals in Haiti like those of Doctor Eguene and Doctor RoRo, as well small businesses like those of our friends Fany and Rosie. These are just a few of Espwa's projects that support local in Haiti making a difference. Check out espwa.com for our full list of projects. 

Would you consider supporting my ride and ultimately supporting Espwa's work in Haiti?

Thanks for considering! 

ABOUT Ride the GAP 2021

 

Espwa’s Ride the GAP is a fundraising adventure bike ride on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP). This 3-day excursion spans 150 miles from Cumberland, MD to Pittsburgh, PA. Riders of all skill levels are welcome on this fully supported ride. Funds raised from this charity bike ride will be used to support the projects of the Espwa Foundation. 

The Espwa Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to impacting those in poverty in the Cap Haitien, Haiti region.  "Espwa" is the Haitian Creole word for "hope."  We believe it's all about relationships and that through long-term development, we can truly help our brothers and sisters in Haiti.  We don't just throw money at problems, or give handouts when they are not the appropriate type of intervention.  We assess situations, get to know those involved, and come up with strategies to achieve personal and professional growth.  In our project portfolio, we engage in medical relief by partnering with local physicians, and undertake development efforts across the spectrum: family support, farming, small business, pastoral support, and more.  Join our movement of hope in Haiti today!
