GROW HUB

05/28/2026

Thank you Doug and Jackie for sharing the GROW HUB mission all the way to Emporia, Kansas!

🚴🏆💪 Doug Smith wears a one of a kind (for now!) custom made GROW HUB Jersey for the 2026 Unbound Gravel XL 350 Race. The jersey has a collage of staff photos, plants, donkeys, butterflies and the GROW HUB logo with text reading "Growing Real Opportunities for Work to Empower Adults with Disabilities."

Shared from Jackie Smith "I'm so proud of this man! He rides his bikes because he enjoys it, trains for fun, races for the personal challenge while never letting it come before his family, friends, work and other important things.

Doug is taking on the 2026 Unbound Gravel XL 350 Race in Emporia Kansas tomorrow. He'll be riding 350 miles unsupported, pushing through the night and battling the elements on this tough, muddy terrain out here. While he is out challenging his body and mind, he is also riding to support something much bigger.

He's raising awareness for our beloved Grow Hub in Gainesville Florida.
Grow Hub is an amazing organization that works to employ, empower and support adults with disabilities. If you’d like to cheer Doug on and support this wonderful non-proft, you can learn more and or donate here: https://www.thephilanthropyhub.org/organizations/growing-real-opportunities-to-work-harvest-of-urban-business-inc and please take a moment to watch the video on their website about this truly important hometown organization.

Thanks for your support!"
