This year is ALC's 21st annual summit and we are challenging ourselves to get there by riding our bikes the full 200 miles from Seattle to Portland!
Because it makes it makes it more exciting, plus it gives us a chance to fundraise for a worthwhile cause! We hope you'll join us in supporting CLEAR Global and the TWB Community. 100% of funds raised will go toward their vital work.
Mark and Rick are neighbors, friends and industry colleagues that will cycle from their neighborhood in Bellevue, WA to the ALC conference in Portland. That is 320 km (200 miles)!
Translators without Borders (TWB) is a global community of over 100,000 language volunteers offering language services to humanitarian and development organizations worldwide. TWB is part of CLEAR Global, a US-based nonprofit helping people get vital information and be heard, whatever language they speak. We do this through research and scalable language technology solutions that improve two-way communication with communities that speak marginalized languages.
