How would you raise $3,700 for a sanitation project? Maybe a happy hour event? Possibly a 5K run? How about riding your bicycle 3,092 miles cross-country from the Pacific to the Atlantic?
Meet Glenn Ohlsen, a bicycle enthusiast from Boulder, Colorado. Through 1Well, Glenn has partnered with Bandhwad Village to fund 16 toilet units that will dramatically help improve sanitation and health in the community. Glenn will be bicycling for 6 weeks from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL to raise awareness for his project and 1Well. “1Well is unique in that it allows individuals and communities the opportunity to give directly to specific projects.”, Glenn writes. ”You see exactly where and how your donation will be utilized, and 100% of donations go directly towards the project.” Glenn hopes to not only inspire his friends and family to donate to the cause, but looks forward to meeting and engaging new friends on his journey across America.
