Review for World Bicycle Relief NFP, Chicago, IL, USA
I'm a proud Ambassador for the World Bicycle Relief. I love training and racing in the WBR kit and it encourages me to race well and do the organisation proud!
I applied to become an Ambassador as it's my way of giving back to a sport and lifestyle which gives me so much, and from which I benefit on a daily basis - the humble bike. While I'm an endurance cyclist and triathlete and love riding my bike to keep fit and healthy, and as a social activity, I know many are less fortunate.
In a different context that the bike provides me with power, freedom and joy, so too does it for communities in disadvantaged countries, for whom it is a transformational tool to access education and employment.
I believe it important to use my privileged position to give back to others. WBR resonates with me for this purpose.
