Why is Kelly participating?

As a result of the Brake the Cycle ride to Washington, D.C., I learned so much about the injustices of poverty and met incredible people living in that state. It was an experience that compelled me to keep riding to spread the Lord’s message that all His people deserve to live a dignified life and that we as Christians must be part of the solution. My faith has deepened through the reflections, actions, and interactions I have had through Brake the Cycle, and my enthusiasm for riding in the Lord’s name continues to abound.
