I have been actively supporting BikesNotBombs for several years, primarily by riding in the annual fundraising Bike-A-Thon. Although it is a small, Jamaica Plain based organization, they help marginalized people throughout Boston and internationally. Details describing how they do this are presented on their website, which is worth exploring. While the mission statement has changed slightly across the years, it resonates with me as much now as when I first encountered it: “Bikes Not Bombs uses the bicycle as a vehicle for social change to achieve economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South.” Your financial contribution to my pedalling (I am training to do the 50 mile route again) on behalf of this worthy endeavor will be much appreciated by me and the many people whose lives will be enhanced.
If you’d like to help me reach my goal, you can visit my page and make a donation here: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/bikeathon2021/account/1124147/. You can also leave a message for me about why you decided to donate – I’d love to hear from you!
If you can think of others who might be interested in making a donation in support of Bikes Not Bombs, please forward this email or share it on social media. You’d be helping a truly unique organization (and me) by spreading the word.
Thank you so much for helping me reach my goal. I couldn’t do this without you!

Access to transportation is vital to securing employment and housing and maintaining self-sufficiency. Thanks, Mark, for working to provide a means of transportation to people who truly need it.
