I am riding for ESPWA to bring practical help to the people of Haiti who through a series of conflicts, political unrest, and natural disasters lack the most basic of healthcare. ESPWA partners with local clinics, identifying their key needs, and you can help me help them by donating.

I've set myself an additional challenge of riding the 150 miles in only two days by cycling 30 miles on Day one and then 120 miles from Meyersdale to the Point on Day two (Saturday, August 7th)

I am challenging you to open up your hearts and wallets and donate!

Thanks!

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!
