My Mission

Pittsburgh has been a biking mecca for me -- whether I'm commuting, shopping or climbing, following forest paths or skimming the water's edge on one of the many riverfront trails -- I'm excited to put this happiness to great use by joining "Move Across May," supporting WORK, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to accompany families in Haiti out of poverty through good, dignified jobs.

And how do they do that? By rescuing the developed world's "recycled" plastic out of the landfill, treating it like a natural resource, and creating a reverse supply chain by sourcing it back to the globe's multinationals for use in everything from sneakers and polos to print cartridges and laptops. Along the way, WORK provides education, healthcare, sustainable employment and business training to Haiti's forgotten waste-worker class.

I'm proud to be a part of this community and raise funds to support their mission. Help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation today. Every dollar counts!

To learn more about WORK, visit www.dowork.org and give them a follow on social @doworkorg. #MoveAcrossMay #CommunityInMovement
