Starting today, on 10/10/2020, I will bike 8.5 miles a day for 20 days straight, as part of Nola to Angola's annual fundraiser for the Cornerstone Builders Bus Project. Cornerstone provides free transportation to families visiting loved ones incarcerated in Louisiana. #n2a2020
For every day that I bike, I hope my followers here will donate (at least) a combined $50 dollars. This would be (at least!) $1,000 for Cornerstone, which is huge. You can track my progress and give directly at: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jarrett-drake #n2a2020
First day done! Today's schedule hit several snags but the ride went on nonetheless. Biked a bit up and down hill, through the rain, and in the dark. So thankful that @karibe88 joined and we did it together!
Day Two. 9.33 miles, with a great view of Cayuga Lake. #n2a2020
Day 3 of 20
Day 4!
Day 5 of NOLA to Angola. One quarter of the way there.
Late to post, but here's the receipts for Day 6
Day 7 of 20 #n2a2020
Also, Nola to Angola increased its goal, so I'm increasing mine! The stretch goal is now $1,500. We're already close to the halfway point. I have 13 rides left to get to $801. $61.61 per day would do it. Can you help keep families connected in Louisiana? https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jarrett-drake
Day 8 of 20, NOLA to Angola #n2a2020
Day 9 was rough, but it is done!
Day 10 of 20, just at the halfway point! The link to donate is a few tweets up, mad love to everyone who has given or wanted to!
Day 11/20. This was our fastest average speed yet! I feel like someone should donate just based on that fact alone?
Day 12, before the downpour #n2a2020
Day 13 of #n2a2020 is in the books. One full week left. Again the link to donate is here https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jarrett-drake
Day 14 was probably the most pleasant so far. Also was our fastest, despite a mean headwind. Infinite love to @karibe88 for being on this journey with me!
Day 15 was the hardest but @karibe88 willed us home 😘
80% of the way there, but so happy that the stretch goal has already been exceeded! Yall are great! I'm a man of my word though so imma finish strong 💪🏾🚴🏿‍♂️🦵🏾🦶🏾
They need a butt emoji for this wagon I'm dragging
18/20 #n2a2020
Now just one day left! My ass is on fire! #n2a2020
Day 20 of 20, done! The mileage for today was only four miles, but that's because me and @karibe88 had already biked extra along the way. We finished with 170.10 miles, so multiply that by two, and we biked 340.20. See more at the donation link #n2a2020 https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jarrett-drake
So to conclude this thread, mad love to everyone who contributed to this important fundraiser. Whenever I think I can't love @karibe88 anymore than I already do, I am proven wrong. I wouldn't have been able to do this without her.
