A Leadership Gift

Double every gift on this page.

We’re looking for one person, family or business to match every dollar raised during the 32 days of the ride. It is the highest-leverage gift in this campaign, and no one has taken it yet.

Currently unclaimed

Not adding to the total. Multiplying it.

Most people who visit this campaign give $30 and sponsor a mile. That matters, and it adds up. But a matching gift does something different: it changes what everyone else’s money is worth.

One matcher changes the arithmetic for every donor who follows.

A $30 milebecomes $60
A $65 patient sponsorshipbecomes two patients
A church giving $2,000becomes $4,000
Every gift for 32 dayscounts twice

You set the ceiling. Match up to $25,000, $50,000, or whatever figure makes sense — and once it’s announced, every person who gives knows their gift is doubled. That is the single strongest reason a hesitant donor gives today rather than later.

Why this campaign is worth the leverage

A verifiable cause

$200,000 funds a full year of care — treatment, food and housing — for 200 named leprosy patients. Real numbers, real outcomes.

A 15-year record

Two hospitals, four schools, 6,000+ free eye surgeries, 1,500+ children educated. Lioncrest and Paramjyoti schools are now fully self-sustaining.

Proven execution

Josh Komanapalli recruited, trained and led a staff of 125. Recipient of the Silver Humanitarian Award, presented by President George W. Bush.

How you’d be recognised

If you’d like to be named, you’d appear as the matching partner across the whole campaign:

On this page and the main campaign page · in the press kit shared with media across all 20 stop cities · throughout the ride on Instagram · and at the finish in Frisco on 6 October.

Or you can remain completely anonymous. Entirely your call, and it makes no difference to us.

Josh will take this conversation himself.

No proposal deck. No committee. A phone call, and a straight answer to any question you have.
