It's good for the soul and currently, computers and software cannot replace the meditation on the inequities of life.
Fundraising through races, rides and walks generates revenue for the charity. These people are fundraising for the Room to Read non-profit, which attempts to improve literacy and gender equality in education in the developing world.
One way to do so would be to go to this page: https://believe.in/techbikers
And perhaps surprise some cyclist by supporting him/her. Maybe some of the ones who haven't raised much yet... they're at the bottom of the page.
Believe.in are not taking any processing fees. And Stripe have waived their fees too.
So 100% of anything that anyone donates (from HN or elsewhere) is going to go to the charity Room to Read and make a real difference.
You might even notice a few names you recognise on that list, as some of the riders (inc myself) are active on HN.
We'd love your support. I won't kid anyone, it's not an impossible and massive thing, a cycle ride... but the cause is a really great one, and that's what matters.
good luck
