About the DIRT Dad Fundo Pledge for Day Twenty-Seven—Michael Brosterman
Here is what Michael had to say—”Cycling has been a core part of my mental and physical health regiment for years. I discovered DIRT shortly after joining Zwift in January of 2020. I joined Eat DIRT in March of 2020 and I am now all in on team DIRT. It’s a wonderful global network of individuals and I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it. Thank you DIRT!”
Amount Raised to Date—$6,523
Thank you, Michael!

Semi-retired as owner and director of his private Orthopedic Physical Therapy practice after over 20 years, Chris is blessed with the freedom to pursue his passion for virtual cycling and writing. On a continual quest to give back to his bike for all the rewarding experiences and relationships it has provided him, he created a non-profit. Chris is committed to helping others with his bike through its work and the pages of his site.
In the summer of 2022, he rode 3,900 miles from San Francisco to New York to support the charity he founded, TheDIRTDadFund. His “Gain Cave” resides on the North Fork of Long Island, where he lives with his beautiful wife and is proud of his two independent children.
