I am riding the bike tour to support BRC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their lives from homelessness, mental illness, and addiction.

Over the years, I have gotten to witness the amazing work BRC accomplishes through the lens of one BRC employee, my wife Kelly Quirk. I've learned that BRC has the most dedicated staff, who truly care about helping New Yorkers in need.

In the last four years, I have suffered from leg injuries that have required three surgeries and several months of recovery each. As I've slowly recovered and re-gained my leg strength and coordination, cycling has been critical for me to provide motivation and confidence for achieving my goals and becoming stronger and more resilient both on and off the bike, as well as more connected with the places I am riding in and people I am riding with. It is for this reason that I am eager to ride my bike through the 5 boroughs in hopes of sharing the mission and good work that BRC is doing in every borough.

Please join me in supporting the more 14,000 vulnerable New Yorkers that BRC serves every year, as I ride to help create a path from homelessness to home.

Learn more about BRC and the people they serve at www.BRC.org, and consider donating to my fundraiser as I ride for a great cause!
