Description

Join the Ukrainian Club at Texas A&M for our Bake & Craft Sale on September 16–17 from 11:00 AM–3:00 PM in the MSC 12th Man Hall! 💙💛
Our beneficiary this year is a HopeRaising Expedition In Ukraine, by Jacob Kepka - one bike, one pedal, 2,136 km in 46 days!
Jakob is a USA Marine veteran, a Canadian citizen of Polish origin, an above-knee amputee, and a cancer survivor! He turned 70 yo a couple of days ago!

I’m not afraid of Russians or drones. I’m afraid of not finishing the ride,” says Canadian veteran Jakob Kepka. Jakob has set out on a 2,100-kilometer cycling journey across Ukraine to raise money for prosthetics for Ukrainian soldiers who have lost limbs. But there’s one detail that makes his journey even more remarkable: Jakob is riding the entire distance on just ONE LEG. A knee injury he suffered during his time in the U.S. Marine Corps eventually led to an amputation. But instead of letting it break him, Jakob turned his setback into a mission to help others.— with Jakob Kepka in Toronto, Canada.

The Expedition is organized, sponsored, and now coordinated by Elevate Ukraine- a local nonprofit! 
All proceeds from the Bake Sake will go to prosthetics projects and reintegration support for Ukrainian war veterans with amputations!
