ROB'S RUCKUS ROADTRIP

On 5/11/15  I set out on the adventure of a lifetime, riding my 49cc scooter from Colorado to Alaska on the backroads of North America. Along the way I'll be sharing my story of recovery from drugs and alcohol, and raising funds to help students in recovery.

WHAT A RALLY! $20K as of today!

WOOHOOO! For those of you following along on my crazy shenanigans, you know that throughout my trip I have been raising money through a crowdfunding campaign to create a scholarship fund for students in recovery at the CU Collegiate Recovery Center at the University of Colorado-Boulder. I wanted to give back to the community that helped me when I first got sober. My goal was to raise $20,000 by the time my campaign ends on July 18 when I am in Anchorage. A crazy dream, right?

Well... I popped out of the Alaskan wilderness briefly today to find out WE DID IT! With three days still left in the campaign, we reached $20,000 today!!! There isn't ANYTHING more amazing than seeing how you all rallied for me and made this happen. This journey has become so much more than I could have ever imagined; 200 donors from all over the country, constant encouragement from loved ones and strangers, and most of all the lasting impact of how you all helped me learn how to love myself by helping others. I am so grateful!​

I heard there were some hiccups with some people trying to donate and not being able to enter the amount they wanted - the techs are trying to get that fixed by Thursday, so please try again on Friday July 17. It only happened with certain browsers, but I'm sorry if it inconvenienced anyone!

My dad is flying up to meet me in Anchorage and the campaign will officially close at midnight on Saturday July 18. So if you or someone you know haven't donated yet and still want to - there's time! Click here to go to the crowdfunding page.

I'll be sending my next post from Anchorage!
