Ten young adults are making a 659.3-mile trek from Plymouth, Michigan, to Manchester, Missouri — not quite the same as the 2,220-mile race that is the pinnacle of bicycle racing — but a journey that nonetheless is being undertaken for a far greater cause.
The group is Biking for Babies, a pro-life apostolate of young adults who every year complete an approximately 600-mile bike ride while raising money for pregnancy resource centers. Over the past 13 years, Biking for Babies has pedaled 31,000 miles, raising $1.26 million for 102 pregnancy resource centers around the country.
“We are a pro-life missionary organization seeking to raise money for pregnancy resource centers while forming young adult missionaries,” Lauren Woelffer, a member of the Biking for Babies Michigan route team, told Detroit Catholic. “All our riders and support staff go through a formation program from March to September, where our missionaries are formed in pro-life apologetics. We grow in spirituality, we grow in friendship, and as a group, we fundraise for pregnancy resource centers across the country.”
