The funds raised for the epic motorcycle ride benefitted 260 families in dire conditions in El Salvador.
Each family received one rooster, nine hens and nutrition coaching and training to help manage and grow a small farm. The program typically lasts nine months, after which each family should have eggs and meat to eat and sell. Those families then encouraged to pay it forward and give another family a set of roosters and hens.
