ALBANY, GA. -- 20-year-old Andy Clack said he wants to ride from Daytona Beach Florida to Portland Maine to see the country, and raise awareness with the American Bible Society.

The group has a branch called “She’s My Sister” that raises funds for women who have been raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“We’re raising money and awareness for these women to basically get over their trauma through these proven programs that ABS uses basically that brings them to a state of restoration and wholeness after what’s happened to them using the bible and Christ’s words through the gospel” says Clack.

Clack will be riding with a group of other people.  The goal is to bike anywhere between 60 and 100 miles a day before staying a night with a church.  Clack and the other bike riders will have the opportunity to do some public speaking to raise awareness and funds for the cause.
