I choose Climate Ride and its programs as my beneficiaries because participating in this event has brought me so much inspiration for my day-to-day work on climate advocacy, and, importantly, so much joy and community in the cause. The people I meet on Climate Ride, including the Climate Ride staff and volunteers, are so inspiring to me. Every year I ride with climate warriors contributing to the solutions in so many ways, and every year I finish the ride feeling renewed and refreshed and inspired – and with new friends and a community that has come to mean so much to me. Not least, this event is so much fun! I’ve been working on climate change advocacy for nearly 15 years, and this is the single-most-fun thing I do year over year. A successful social movement needs fun to succeed, and here it is! So grateful for Climate Ride staff, volunteers, and riders for bringing the fun and inspiration!
