Meet The Riders

Our team consists of 6 BMX riders and a SAG vehicle for support. We'll each be riding single speed BMX bikes across the state, in the Florida summer sun. Your donation will cover costs for food, lodging, and spare parts. All additional funds will do directly to the Children's Advocacy Center of SW Florida. Our goal is to raise $26,000. Please help!

45, I wanted to do something extreme with some young men, in our society we've overlooked the idea of an earned "Right of passage" . I want to give them something to look back on in 10 years and think WOW, that was CRAZY. I wasn't able to do this until much later in life, and realized I wasted youthful years when I had more energy and drive.

34, Artist with an aspiration to travel. I want to do this trip to see if I can physically accomplish a ride of this distance and visit a place I’ve never been before and most importantly have a story that I’m proud to tell of the rest of my life. After meeting some of the kids Jeremy rides bikes with and understanding the backstory with the Children's Center, I think it is a great cause to help raise money for, and be a part of.

20. I like fishing and riding my bike. Ive done all kinds of 2 wheeled adventures with my dad. I am doing this ride just for fun. Plus it's a good cause.

14, I love riding my bike and going to the gym super excited for this trip it’s gonna be awesome to push myself with my friends, and it's for a great cause

18 yrs old, i grew up riding bikes, i feel this will be a challenging experience, awesome hanging out with guys like me, ive got to ride with jeremy and breyan when we were kids, i can't wait for this challenge, and jeremy picked a great cause to bring support too.

I’m 14. I love to ride bikes. and almost everything with two wheels and I love meeting new friends. I'm going on this trip because I think it will be a good challenge for me to get out of the house and ride all that way.

15yo.I love all things bikes, and outdoors. I also love to challenge myself, especially physically!I am excited to take on this long distance ride because I know we’re doing it for a great cause, and also I know It’ll build my endurance.Hopefully I’ll come out the other end a little bit more of a man.

76, In the early 2000s when I had more time on my hands, my children were grown, I started to give back to the community by volunteering, being retired, I now have plenty of time to volunteer and help the next person whenever I can.
