Cycling for Water 2022 - Conrad Hsu

Dear friends and neighbors,

On July 16, I am going to tackle the Death Ride, one of the hardest rated bike rides in America. Taking place in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, this ride consists of 14,500 feet of climbing over the span of 103 miles. After being inspired by others to take on this challenge, it also striked me as a great opportunity to turn this bike marathon into a good cause.

As a cyclist, nutrition is key to having a successful ride. Whether it be the pre-ride, the during ride, or the post-ride, the most crucial element is hydration. Fortunately, I have access to clean and consistent water everyday, which is why I would like to dedicate this ride to raise funds for Water.org, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to bring access to clean water and sanitation in the developing world.

Aimed at underdeveloped third world countries, the global water crisis has only gotten worse since the Covid-19 pandemic. 771 million people — about 1 in 10 — lack access to safe water; 3.6 billion — about half the world’s population — lack access to safely managed sanitation in their homes. For every $5 raised, we can provide life changing water and sanitation to a life in need.

I know you and I share the same vision that access to safe water and sanitation is a human right. So please, use my “suffering” as an excuse to make someone else’s life better. I will be compiling a short video to showcase the ride afterward.

Any amount donated is appreciated. Please feel free to share this fundraiser with friends.
Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Conrad Hsu
