Profile

"In the beginning, Pink Gravel was Amy's way to stay involved with the gravel family while going thru chemo and radiation in the spring/summer of 2020.  Pink Gravel really "became a thing" in the fall when dear friends of Jon and Amy put Pink Gravel front and center on their gravel events volunteer shirts.  As Amy was finally coming out of her chemo fog, Jon and Amy decided they wanted to use Pink Gravel to help others that fell into similar situation - an active person knocked off her bike by cancer and using other means to still be active in the gravel community. 

As the Pink Gravel Crew - consisting of Jon, Amy and their kids - attended events promoting breast cancer awareness, sharing her story and Pink Gravel's mission contributions for their help at these events and folks buying Pink Gravel t shirts, Jon and Amy had enough seed money to approach the Emporia Community Foundation in October 2021."

The above basically sums up our story of how the Pink Gravel Fund came into existance.  It was my personal experience with breast cancer and love for gravel cycling that this Pink Gravel machine was born.  

Since October 2021, we have traveled to events and expos in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri and right here in Emporia, Kansas to share the mission of the Pink Gravel Fund with whoever will listen and have us.   Jon and I have been in a constant fundraising mode to grow the Fund's balance so that we can put it to work for you or someone you know that is going through breast cancer. 

PLEASE, donate to the Pink Gravel Fund knowing your gift will be used locally for those needing a boost sooner than later.

Thank you for taking the time to read about us and this wonderful opportunity for our Pink Gravel Fund by ECF.  We are excited to be apart of this magic!
