Joezinho - Not For Sale

Riding fixed from Busan to Seoul with the crew to raise awareness against human trafficking. Join us and help us raise support and awareness!

So, being the creative type~ I didn't want to just stick to the standard route of asking for donations which you can still do! But for sponsors of $100 of more, you can expect to receive a cool shirt with your logo added to it. OR, if you just want to buy a shirt off me to help me raise funds, they'll be going at $20. You can help and look good doing it ;) Help me help victims of #HumanTrafficking Let's #EndHumanTrafficking Together we can make a difference. Don't forget to check out these awesome organizations we're riding for House of Hope & Oak Tree Project
