Adam Chowski checked in with me today with an update about his upcoming trip to Haiti. Since I had originally posted about Chowski trying to raise money for Haiti, he’s received a bunch of attention and extended help from others. Ethan from www.youthnoise.com did a 10 question interview with Chowski, about his Haiti efforts and interest as a surgical technician; you can check it out in full here.

Chowski also setup a fundraising page at Give Forward.com, as an easy way for people to donate towards his cause. The page states that the fundraiser ends this Saturday but Chowski said a lot of riders on BMX Board have asked him to extend that date. So Chowski is extending it until the end of next month. As you’ll notice on his page, Chowski is way short of reaching his goal and still needs a lot of help. Right now, he has sadly resorted to putting the expenses on his credit card for the time being. Chowski said he is leaving this Saturday morning for Haiti, regardless of how much it puts him in debt. If you would like to help a good cause and a fellow BMXer, go donate here.
On a side note: It’s my birthday today and I can’t believe I’m 27-years-old! I found this old Polaroid of myself today, posted on my Dad’s bulletin board above his desk. I guess technically this was my first BMX bike, I was 3-years-old in this picture, so that means I’ve been riding BMX for 24 years?! Cheers!
