As any IU student knows, summers in Indiana can be grueling. One IUDM member, however, is putting personal discomfort aside and making the trek from Warsaw, IN to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, all in the name of the 100 Day Challenge.
Michael Schmahl is a member of the Morale committee for IUDM 2016, and is combining his passions for Riley and biking (he is also a biker in the Little 500) to make a difference For The Kids. His journey spans 133 miles and is expected to take him around eight hours. He brought some company along for the ride--a stuffed bear named Cason that will find its next home with a child at Riley. Schmahl's bike ride, which has been covered in local media outlets such as WISH-TV, is in honor of the 100 Day Challenge and marks 100 days until IUDM 2016. His goal is to raise $500 by midnight, which is about $5 for every mile he rides today. Many friends of Schmahl's view him to be an extremely dedicated and motivated person. "When he sets his mind to something he does it," said Hannah Naddy, a longtime friend. "He constantly inspires everyone around him to be the best person they can be." To help support him in his efforts, please visit Michael Schmahal's IUDM fundraising page and donate to Riley Hospital for Children. To watch videos about his progress, visit his Facebook page.
