This June I’m riding 200 miles @chefscycle to he This June I’m riding 200 miles @chefscycle to help end childhood hunger. It’s my 5th time traveling across the country to do this ride. But the problem has not gone away. It still blows my mind that in a wealthy country like the US, 1 in 5 kids (nearly 14 million American children) go hungry on a daily basis. Can you help support my efforts? I need to raise at least $4500 to qualify for the ride. No amount is too small. Even $1 provides 10 meals to hungry kids. There’s a link in my bio that makes it super easy to donate. 🙏 📸 @sv_images
