Zach and Thomas both lost their brothers to suicide. They just started their journey from SF to NY via bike to promote suicide awareness for their charity RISE. The cycling community has been SO important to these two young men trying to adjust to life without their brothers. State Bicycle is helping them selling these necklaces for $1 to raise money. Their goal is to sell 10,000 for them to fully fund their trip.
"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life."
"My love for you won’t stop with my leaving. Come an evening over the years, when you step outside your door and hear the wind blowing through the cottonwoods, that’ll be me, thinking of you, whispering your name, and loving you."
