The family of Moriah 'Mo' Wilson have organised a GoFundMe to raise funds in honour of her memory. 

The funds raised will go toward a community youth organisation centred on finding self-confidence, strength, and joy through the activities that Wilson was passionate about including cycling and skiing.

On May 11th, 2022, Moriah "Mo" Wilson passed away in Austin, Texas, where she was preparing to compete in the Gravel Locos bike race. In her short time here, Moriah inspired many, lived fully, and loved fiercely.

In her memory, we are raising money to help fund community organizations that help youth find self-confidence, strength, and joy through biking, skiing, and other activities that Moriah was passionate about.

With your generosity, and Mo's loving spirit, let's help as many youth as possible pursue their dreams.

Thank you for your support,

Eric, Karen, and Matt
