THE STORY
More than a bike ride.
One woman. One bicycle. Coast to coast across America in service of human trafficking survivors and the Indigenous wisdom-keepers of this land.
Rachael is a trauma-informed facilitator who has spent years guiding others through transformation. This ride is her own. An embodied act of devotion to the causes that have shaped her healing and called her into accountability.
The ride is the stone dropped in the water. The ripples are the lives it reaches.
WHY A BIKE?
More than a bike ride.
One woman. One bicycle. Coast to coast across America — in service of human trafficking survivors and the Indigenous wisdom-keepers of this land.
Rachael is a trauma-informed facilitator and founder of Rooted Threshold who has spent years guiding others through transformation. This ride is her own — an embodied act of devotion to the causes that have shaped her healing and called her into accountability.
The ride is the stone dropped in the water. The ripples are the lives it reaches.
THE IMPACT

WOMAN
A place to live

A pathway to income
A women's food cart employs five women while teaching entrepreneurial and business skills they can carry with them, long after.
THE ROUTE
Mile Zero to the Pacific.
3,250 miles from Georgetown's Mile Zero up the C&O Canal and the Great Allegheny Passage to Pittsburgh, across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to St. Louis, along the Katy Trail through Missouri, then the length of historic Route 66 to the Santa Monica Pier.
