ODESSA, Florida (WFTS) \u2014 This summer, an Odessa teen will be part of a group of young men taking their message of empathy and acceptance on the road.<\/p>\n

Zachary Mitchell is training for Gear Up Florida, a two-week statewide cycling journey that travels from Miami to Tallahassee.<\/p>\n

Mitchell, a student at the University of Central Florida, is riding with fellow members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity as part of Journey of Hope, a cycling event organized by The Ability Experience.<\/p>\n

Teams travel across the country to promote acceptance, inclusion, and empathy for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Along the route, riders stop in dozens of communities, visiting organizations that serve people with disabilities and building meaningful connections with individuals and families.<\/p>\n

Those interested in supporting Mitchell\u2019s mission can donate at\u00a0support.abilityexperience.org\/fundraisers\/ZacharyMitchell\/gear-up-florida-2026<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ability Experience says donations directly support people with disabilities through advocacy, education and inclusive programming.<\/p>\n
