Cycling for a world where people are not for sale
Grace, Sara, and Savannah believe that some of the most meaningful conversations begin with an unexpected challenge.
In 2017, they cycled 1,700 miles down the Pacific Coast to raise awareness about domestic sex trafficking. What began as a ride outside their comfort zones sparked conversations within their communities and grew into something much larger.
They crossed the finish line in San Diego having raised more than $60,000, surpassing their original fundraising goal by six times and seeing firsthand how a simple bicycle ride could inspire action and create change.
Since 2017, Pedal the Pacific has raised more than $1 million to support organizations advancing efforts to raise awareness and address human trafficking.

No voice is too small
Pedal the Pacific is about more than the miles ridden. It empowers women to find their voices, speak up for justice, and inspire meaningful conversations in their communities. The lessons learned and confidence gained continue long after the ride is over, creating advocates who believe in their ability to make a difference.
Their Mission
We ride because every day, all across America, men, women, and children are being trafficked for sex.
Pedal the Pacific is a leadership development program that helps young women discover their inner power to make change for vulnerable populations.
