Don and Joe are The Vegan Biker Dudes, a new
duo of community volunteers who raise funds
for non-profits by gathering sponsors for their
extreme bike treks. The cyclists chose to benefit
Our House on their first ride, raising $805
from sponsors of their ride.
On November 2nd they left Little Rock for a
3-day, 150-mile journey to Memphis. They
rode 50 miles each day, camping every night
and documenting their progress on Twitter.
The cyclists were “stoked to be partnered with
an organization that furthers the lives of so
many individuals in so many positive ways,”
and Our House is excited to have received the
attention of these dedicated volunteers. This is
only the beginning for Don and Joe, and we
hope to see them experience success in all of
their future fundraising efforts.
