Emelia, Isabelle, and Bridget are three women in their early 20’s who embarked on a cross-country bicycle trip earlier this summer of 2021. After the quarantine year of 2020, each rider came from three different places: Maryland, Georgia, and Texas; and met up in Washington state. Over a total of seventy-one days, the trio traveled 4,370 miles by bicycle through 11 states to reach their finish line in Virginia Beach, VA. As a succession of their trip, the girls raised sixteen thousand dollars for Off the Grid Missions, a deaf run non-profit organization that provides emergency and natural disaster aid to deaf and hard-of-hearing communities in need all over the world.
