Every mile has a purpose
Riding for Charities
Some journeys are about discovering new places. Others are about making a difference. Through Riding for Charities, we're using the visibility of our adventures to help raise awareness and support for organizations doing important work in their communities.
Because the greatest adventures aren't always measured in miles.
The mechanism
How this works
Five things have to line up for the miles to turn into money for the organizations below. Here's the whole machine, in order.
01
The media attracts attention
The videos and posts are the hook. Every video showcases a nonprofit — the organizations we're riding for are in the frame, not a footnote at the end.
02
Partnerships do the hands-on fundraising
Partners are where the actual money-raising happens: events, drives and matches organized together, rather than a donate button nobody clicks.
03
Donations go directly to the nonprofits
Donations are handed over at the end of the year, after the trip is done, and they go straight to the nonprofits themselves.
04
The media keeps people invested
Ongoing coverage keeps attention on the channels and keeps people emotionally invested in the story — which is what turns a one-time view into someone who follows, shares and gives.
05
Local first, then wider
Local fundraising in Monroe County is the majority of the effort today. As the story keeps evolving, it can attract support from well outside the county too.
The distinction, stated plainly
- Roam on Three is an adventure-media brand, not a nonprofit. Riding for Charities is its charitable initiative.
- Donations go to the nonprofit beneficiaries, not to trip expenses. When a fundraiser is live, the donation links on this page point directly to the nonprofits themselves.
- Watching a video doesn't automatically generate a donation. What views do is put these organizations in front of more people — the giving is always a deliberate act, by you, directly to them.
- Sponsorship and donations are two different pots. A partner who funds the travel is paying for content work, and that money covers the trip itself. Donations are separate, and they go to the nonprofits directly.
- Donations are overseen by a Board of Directors invested in this community. The people watching over the money are part of the same community the ride is for.
- The power of collective effort. This looks like a long shot today — but if enough people work together toward the same goal, we should be able to accomplish something great for all the nonprofits, and build a yearly fundraising mechanism.
The organizations
Who the miles are for
The Road Warrior Foundation
A national nonprofit that helps veterans. A share of what our charitable rides raise goes straight to their work.
Monroe County nonprofits
Several local nonprofits across the Florida Keys — the home stretch where every ride begins. The full list will be published as partnerships are confirmed.
Monroe County · Marathon, FL
Keys AHEC · Keys Kids Health Centers
The Florida Keys Area Health Education Center makes sure school-age kids across Monroe County get free medical and low-cost dental care, no matter what their families can afford. Their clinics and dental van work right at the schools. They also run free programs to help people quit tobacco, plus training for local health workers.

Mile 0 to Alaska
The plan: on July 1, 2027, the trike leaves the Mile 0 marker in Key West and heads north on US-1 through the Keys and up Florida, then cuts northwest across the heartland and Canada to Dawson Creek — Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway. From there it's north to Fairbanks and up the Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay, the northernmost point you can ride to in North America. Mile 0 to Mile 0, and the camera rolls the whole way.
This ride hasn't happened yet — it's the plan, and plans can shift. The route, date, participating organizations and fundraising goal will be confirmed here as they're finalized. Every mile is meant to raise money for the organizations above.

The route crosses 9 states · 4 provinces · 1 territory, and Whitehorse → Tok (387 mi) is the longest single push.

How to contribute
When a fundraiser is live, this page will carry direct donation links to each participating nonprofit — your gift goes to them, not through us. Until then, the most useful thing you can do is follow the adventures and share them: visibility is the whole engine.
