About Richele

Richele Jackson and her two daughters, Iviana and Jasha currently share a two-bedroom apartment in a Philadelphia subsidized housing high-rise. While completing her 350 sweat equity hours that will be her down payment on her Habitat Home, she has held two jobs and often contends with a leaking ceiling and 12 flights of stairs when the building elevator is broken. With your help, Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia will complete her house. She'll pay a zero interest mortgage. The money generated from her payments and the 140 other Habitat families in Philadelphia empowers Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia to build more affordable homes.

You can help Richele achieve her goal of home ownership. On my trip I'll cross around 3000 miles of the US. By pledging dollars or cents per mile, by the time I jump into the Pacific Ocean, Richele could be jumping for joy. All donations should be made directly to Habitat for Humanity in Philadelphia and are tax deductible.

3 states 1 day

After spending the night just outside Harper's Ferry I headed out for Front Royal and the start of Skyline Drive. I started the day in MD, bike through WV, and ended in VA, looking south toward the Shenandoah. All the talk about skyline got me good and scared, so rather than dive right in I spent the night in the cheapest motel and ate some comfort chinese food. After the fifty mile ride, getting to sleep should've been easy, but with my unease and boobtube access, it wasn't hard to put off sleep and the morning.
