I'm raising money for Louisville's LGBT mental & emotional health by bikepacking the Ohio to Erie Trail (326 miles). All donations will go to Louisville's LGBT Center to help create safe and healing spaces.

Update #5

Hi!

Thank you so much for your donations and support! With your help, I raised $742 for LGBTQ mental & emotional health in Louisville, KY. I will donate the money to Louisville Pride Foundation for the LGBT center.

A big update about my biking trip:
The first day was gorgeous, and we managed to stay an hour ahead of the storms. We biked for 52 miles and made it to Xenia, OH, where we found our camping area.

The storms found us that night, and they quickly escalated to severe storms with lightning and strong winds. It was a bit scary in our tiny tents. After learning the storms were staying for three more days, we decided to postpone the trip.

We were only working with 5.5 days to finish the trip, and the storms were not allowing that to happen. We are looking to finish the trip in early August!

Thank you all for your support!

Update #3

I'm packing pretty light for my trip. I laid everything out to get a feel of the weight. It's not bad! I was worried it would be a "Monster" situation from the movie Wild. Honestly, I'm packing so light because of that movie.

Purchasing and preparing my food is the next step! That'll probably be the bulk of my weight
