The COVID-19 outbreak has caused unprecedented cancellations of Global Builders trips, Bike Adventures, and other Fuller Center volunteer events that our partners rely upon to do their important work.

Yet this period of “shelter at home” highlights the need for our work. Spending more time trapped at home increases exposure to infectious diseases for kids who live in inadequate housing such as damp, cold and moldy environments. Globally, houses of mud walls and floors combined with poor sanitation create an environment for life-threatening diseases like Chagas, severe diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, and malaria. Diarrhea alone tragically claims the lives of more than 800,000 children under age five every year (Source: CDC). Our work helps to address these issues. 

Our volunteers may not be able to physically build homes together at this time, but what better way to respond than by joining a community through which to move together and address one of the largest causes of endemic diseases around the world: poor shelter.

Health professionals have stated that cycling outdoors during the coronavirus pandemic can be done safely. Here is a collection of resources for safe outdoor activity during the pandemic. 

Local guidelines are continuously changing, and we ask that you follow the recommendations and requirements in your community. Of course, a home stationary bike, bike on a trainer, or home treadmill should always remain a socially-distant option. 

No. The funds will be put to immediate use in helping to build homes with families. 

Yes. Riders who registered for our 2020 Florida to Florence, West Coast, Natchez Trace and Tour de Florida rides will continue using your existing MyFCBA fundraising pages. Rides that get postponed until 2021 will have the credit transferred forward. 

It’s the funds raised that change lives so we hope everyone will fundraise, but there’s no minimum requirement for funds or mileage to participate. Only prizes may require minimums as indicated. Come join us!
