A 7,500-mile pledge across bike, run, and swim. Every mile completed, donors give to queer organizations. Named. Tracked. Always. The pledge launches January 1, 2027 — this is the runway.
2027 is the year I'm getting honest with my body — and inviting the people who care about me to come along.
The pledge is simple. Bike, run, and swim a combined 7,500 miles in one calendar year. Cycling carries the load. Running and swimming bring balance and the kind of training that pushes me to grow in ways the bike alone can't reach. Every mile is logged here, in the open. Every week, I'll write about what's working, what's hurting, and what I'm learning.
Friends, family, and supporters can pledge a dollar amount per mile. $1, $5, $10 — whatever moves them. As the miles add up, the donation total grows with them.
At the end of the year — and quarterly along the way — every dollar raised goes to a queer-serving cause that deserves the work. The 2027 beneficiary is being chosen with care, and will be announced on January 1, 2027. No vague promises. No percentages of profits. A named cause. Receipts published. Always.
A live, evolving list of the 2027 events I'm committing to. Some are confirmed. Some are in the planning. Some I'm still deciding on. Updated as decisions get made — in public, on purpose.
Long-form writing about the training, the goals, the food, the failures, and the work it takes to show up — week after week — in pursuit of something worth doing.
The training updates daily. The miles update weekly. The thinking shows up in long form here. Two places to follow it as it unfolds.
Every dollar pledged is matched against a mile completed in 2027 — across bike, run, and swim. Quarterly, funds go directly to the named 2027 beneficiary. Just the work.
About the causeThe 2027 beneficiary will be a queer-serving organization, named publicly on January 1, 2027 — when the pledge starts. The cause is being chosen with care, and you'll know exactly where your dollars are going before the first mile is logged.
