Today I met Paul Korkowski in Galena, Kansas as he rode through on his solo 2,500 mile Route 66 journey for the Hope Through Strengths Clinic at KU. Route 66 only winds 13 miles through Kansas, but Paul is riding all 2,500 for free mental health care here. Grateful beyond words. Learn more below.

Paul Korkowski has never met our clients. He’s cycling 2,500 miles across Route 66 for them anyway. He’s raising money for the Hope Through Strengths Clinic at KU, where students provide free teletherapy to adults across Kansas. Follow his journey and donate: korkc130.com/route66/
