You Are Making a Difference!
It's been almost exactly a month since Hurricane Helene hit our HQ in Asheville, NC. And thanks to your unbelievable generosity, we've sold over 750 Together We Rise shirts, amassing nearly $20K to give to local businesses severely impacted by the storm.
Meet the Businesses You're Helping
We want you to meet some of these amazing organizations firsthand. I'm linking out to their Instagrams because their stories are too good not to be told.
Check out these businesses. Follow their journeys. Donate directly to them. Buy a TWR shirt.
Heck, you still have 2 days to buy the nutrition you're already using and have 10% proceeds go directly to these businesses.
Rockgeist Bikepack USA
These are our literal next door neighbors. They walk 4 steps down. We walk 4 steps up. That was the difference between losing it all and having something to salvage.
Unstoppable Strength Endurance & Adventure Coaching
Tera Pruett is an amazing human, coach, and pillar of the Asheville endurance community. This is her gym 👇🏼
Asheville Adventure Company
Asheville Adventure Company is the hub of all things outdoors. They had three buildings. All three are completely destroyed.
On Your Bike Coffee and Bike Shop
I can't write this one without getting emotional. I go went to this coffee shop almost every Saturday during my long rides. They took on 27 feet of water. TWO-SEVEN. Their rebuild is almost unfathomable and yet they're waking up every morning and pressing on.
It's devastating yet inspiring to watch the recovery efforts. If all you can do is give these companies a follow, that's wonderful. Do that. I've linked directly to them to make it easy. Every little bit helps as we rebuild.
Ending on a High Note
We co-sponsored a community running event this weekend. Why? Becuase no one even knows where to run. Roads are gone. Trails are destroyed.
Helene took a lot from us. But you know what she didn't take? Our spirit.
PS - We only have 8 states left to get the TWR shirts coast to coast!
