Young Woman travels America with rollerblades for a cause.

Woman Who Rollerblades Across America With No Money for a Good Cause

Every one of us has things we are passionate about. But sadly, not all can go out of the way to support them. 

One young woman is using her love for travel and adventure to raise money for educating young girls in Kenya. She is currently rollerblading across the United States and has no money of her own for the journey. She is relying on the kindness of others to get her from one place to the next and to help her raise money for her cause.

Meet 23-year-old Yanise Ho.

She started her journey in March when she left Florida to head for Los Angeles. Ho recently rollerbladed from Savannah, Georgia to Miami, Florida, and founded “The Bladress Scholarship” project.

Police departments and other agencies have reached out to let her know she has their support. They asked her to let them know when she is coming, so they can tell their officers and others to keep an eye out for her. She is amazed by all the kindness that people have shown.

Ho believes that there is more good than bad in the world and she thinks her journey will help prove that.

“My mission is to show that there are amazing people in the world, every day I have no plans, just faith and the goodness of people. Somehow, I always stumble upon the best people in the world. Every day I feel like everyone is my family, and this is how the world should be.”
