A few weeks back, our good friend and photographer Justin Kosman hit us about about a project called “BMX Upgrade!” that he was working on in conjunction with Mission Valley YMCA’s annual Biketoberfest. The goal of the project was to help “upgrade” local San Diego kids to legit BMX bikes. We donated a 2010 Verde Vex to the cause and TLiam O’Neil received his first 20″. Congrats, Liam!

Verde’s own Toby Forte and Jess Jackman have begun their charity ride from the UK to Africa to help raise money for the Stephen Murray Fund and SOS Children’s Villages. You can folllow Mission Morocco, and donate to a good cause, here.

On June 6th, Verde’s own Toby Forte will be headed on a cycling trip to raise money for The Stephen Murray Fund and SOS Children’s Villages.  Toby and Jess Jackman will be setting off from Devon, England on an epic cycling adventure to Morocco, North Africa. They will be navigating their way and carrying their equipment, all whilst covering an average of 75 miles per day. Good luck, Toby! We’ll be sure to keep you updated on Toby’s progress as his trip unfolds.
