Cross-Country for Conservation

Starting February 2009, I will be biking across the country to raise money for my high school's environmental action club. The experience will be a wonderful opportunity for me to raise money for my club and thus lessen the carbon footprint of my school, and therefore community.

"Films That Move" is a film production company dedicated to making films that spark social change.

The first film of "Films That Move" follows a group of 15 students from the University of Illinois biked from New York City to San Diego over the course of this past summer to raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer. The riders' journey is used as a case study to explore issues of cancer, life, and rallying together to fight a common cause in the documentary entitled "What People Do."

I helped in creating a biking event. It helps raise money for the local humane society. We have put most of our time and effort to build this charity event from scratch. Everything we need for the event to take place is all based on donations. The public will cycle around the city either 50 or 14 miles.

The Parkwoods is a residential gated community nestled at the base of the Berkeley Hills. My father has lived here since before I was born, except when it was being rebuilt from a major fire in the hills. When I moved to the Parkwoods with my father, I was thrilled about being able to ride my bike in the beautiful Berkeley Hills. Being only five minutes away from public transportation, I figured I could ride my bike to and from work with no problem.
