Ole Miss Senior Cameron Geranios Sets Sights on $20,000 Goal for Inspiring Journey of Hope Cycling Trip
In the vibrant city of Oxford, Mississippi, an enthusiastic Ole Miss senior, Cameron Geranios, is gearing up for an adventure that goes beyond just a bike ride. Cameron is on a mission to raise a whopping $20,000 for the Journey of Hope cycling trip, an annual event that aims to spread awareness for individuals with disabilities. The Journey of Hope is organized by The Ability Experience, a philanthropic initiative associated with the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, and attracts cyclists who embark on a challenging journey from both San Francisco and Seattle, all the way to Washington, D.C. Talk about a cross-country adventure!
Cameron’s Journey Begins
Cameron, a committed member of the Ole Miss Pi Kappa Phi chapter, has been part of the fraternity since he stepped onto campus in the fall of 2021. His inspiration comes partly from his time volunteering with the Special Olympics, where he saw firsthand how important support and community can be for those with disabilities. Through his experience, he learned values that resonate deeply with him, such as loyalty, accountability, and the importance of giving back.
This dedicated student has launched the Time for Change campaign as a creative way to reach his fundraising goal. Recognizing the importance of teamwork, he has teamed up with the 11 Panhellenic sororities at Ole Miss for this initiative. Here’s the kicker: for every dollar each sorority donates, Cameron will volunteer one minute in the local community. It’s a fantastic way to collaborate and align with the sororities’ own philanthropic missions, all while fun and friendly competition can inspire greater support for those with disabilities.
Volunteer Spirit
Cameron is no stranger to community involvement. He has previously lent his time to the North Mississippi Exchange Family Center and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. But it doesn’t stop there. He has plans to continue his volunteer work with the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Oxford and the Gallant Hearts Guide Dog Center in Jackson, Mississippi. With such commitment, it’s clear Cameron’s heart is in the right place.
Follow Cameron’s Path
As he prepares for the Journey of Hope, Cameron is documenting his journey. From fundraising efforts to training sessions and volunteer activities, he’s sharing everything through weekly videos on social media. Interested individuals can keep track of his progress on Instagram under the handle @cammy_tubes. It’s a great opportunity to witness the inspiring journey of one dedicated student and the positive change he’s striving to create.
