Asha Seattle

Training hard, riding more than 1000 miles even before my actual rides, creating awareness for education is my way of giving to the community.

My Rides 2026 —-

-Flying wheels 100 miles on May 30, 2026

-STP Seattle to Portland 206 miles on July 11, 2026

Why am I doing this ?

-It gives me joy when I share and support others in need .

-I am raising funds for an NGO named “Asha for Education”. Education enables all children to achieve their highest potential as individuals, serve effectively as citizens of a free society, and successfully compete in a changing global marketplace.

-Asha for Education is a 99% volunteer-driven, non-profit whose mission is “To catalyze socio-economic change in India through education of underprivileged children.”

I am riding with purpose and passion. Please donate and help me in reaching my goal.

Here are some ways that your donation to Asha will help:

$25 – $50 can supply food and hope to a child for a year,

$50 – $100 can cover the cost of learning for 6 children through an elementary school experience.

$100 – $150 can cover the cost of education and food for one child for a year.

What I gain??

Cycling not only keeps me healthy, but it also teaches me valuable life lessons and builds my confidence.

Every time I get on my bike, I’m reminded that life is not always smooth or easy. There will be bumps, steep climbs, strong winds, and unexpected obstacles. But cycling teaches me not to focus on the difficulties. Instead, I learn to slow down when needed, pedal harder uphill, and keep moving forward one step at a time.

There are days when I feel exhausted, out of breath, or slowed down by the heat. Sometimes I may even crash. But giving up is never an option. In fact, the joy of riding downhill after a tough climb feels even more rewarding because of the effort it took to get there.

Cycling also allows me to experience the beauty around me in a way that driving never can. The rolling hills, cornfields, flowers, animals, and fresh air make me feel deeply connected to nature. Going slower helps me notice and appreciate the little things, and that’s what makes every ride memorable.

As the saying goes, “Life is like riding a bicycle. You don’t fall off unless you stop pedaling.” No matter what challenges life brings, we must keep moving forward. It’s okay to go slowly, as long as we continue making progress. Even small steps matter. Make progress a habit, not an occasion.

A child without education is like a bird without wings.

Let’s give children hope and wings. Please click the “Donate Now” blue button to make your donation and support this cause.

Thank you.
