Dec 24 - Dec 31 . 8 Days . 500km

Rapha's Festive 500 challenges individuals to have grit, determination, and passion to pursue and accomplish a goal. I rose to the Rapha challenge and also set another challenge of my own --- ride for an amazing organization in New York City --- Sponsors of Educational Opportunity (SEO).

The highly effective SEO Scholars program provides underserved students in New York City free academic programs to help them reach their goals to attend university. SEO challenges students to embrace the same values that Rapha's Festive 500 asks its community to embrace.

Rapha's Festive 500 became my Impact 500. I rode 508km in 7 days and raised over $2000 for SEO and its students.

Festive 500 . Impact 500.
