Thank you! I wanted to take the time and say thank you to everyone who supported me by donating and following along with my journey across the country this summer. I ended up raising $13,421 individually and as a team, we raised $168,000 for the Ability Experience all in support of people with different abilities. This entire summer was an incredible experience and is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

We made it! 3,800 miles, 11 states, a few flat tires and we’re here. This was truly an incredible experience and is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you to my friends, family, 24 teammates, and everyone in the Boise community who supported me from the beginning. As a team we were able to give out extra grants, raised $168,000 and touched many lives this summer. @ United States Capitol

We made it to Charlotte, NC! Today we were treated with breakfast at the national HQ where I got to see an old friend followed by a friendship visit with the Holy Angels of Charlotte where we ate lunch and had a dance party after! In the first picture is a guy named Chris who I had the pleasure hanging out with today. He’s a huge UNC basketball and Patriots fan and had some killer dance moves🕺🏻 Very memorable day and looking forward to these last few days as we begin to come to a close.

Oh also shoutout to for tuning up my bike today getting me ready for these last few hundred miles🚴🏼‍♂️ @ Charlotte, North Carolina

2,000 miles down and almost all the way through Texas. Having a great time being in a new city everyday, getting to catch a Rangers game, exploring downtown, and meeting new people each day. Heading to Louisiana this week so stay tuned!

Made it to Texas! Crossed 3 state lines, made some new friends, and we’re already 1/3 of the way done. Hard to believe we’re already in Texas but very excited to be back and looking forward to more adventures to come @ Muleshoe, Texas
