Here we come year 3 - Kathryn Anne Bikers Across The Nation

It’s surreal to think that this was started out just as a social media group aimed at stopping porn and bringing different bikers together, especially as a good spot for bikers who wear patches. I started talking to our admins to figure out what you all needed to help create a support Facebook group. In talking to one of them specifically, I realized that you all didn’t have an organization that truly walks the biker way, doesn’t define you all, and, most importantly, walks beside you and brings you together. I knew having us all come together wouldn’t be an easy accomplishment, but I knew it would be worth it.

Three years later, we are now traveling the country, talking to and actively listening to bikers. We’re officially about to get our nonprofit status, which will allow us to do what we need to do on a larger scale. All it took was listening to bikers and realizing that you all didn’t have the support system you needed for giving back to the local community. We built it for you. I pray it helps. I pray it makes a difference in all kinds of things. I pray we can keep doing amazing work.

My goal in this post is to encourage you not to think small, but to think large — while taking small steps to achieve those larger accomplishments. Right now, we are searching for financial backing and assistance with finances. We are going to be the umbrella organization for you all, but we need financial help because there’s only so much we can do. I’ve been doing this on my own. I work full-time and more. For us to fully run this organization, we are still in Operation 1, which is introductions and small things.

As I’ve stated many times in person, we have never done this before. This organization concept has never been created before. To say we are outside of our comfort level is an understatement. We keep praying and hoping we can do this. We keep troubleshooting and creating. If something doesn’t work, we try another way. We don’t give up. We know we can make a difference and grow with the right people behind us. We are searching for and interviewing those people. As we grow, I’ve realized that some people get mixed up with individual social media bikers and what we are building here at “Bikers Across The Nation.” Yes, we run this project, but this project is not us. You do see my face around. You hear my voice a lot in the things we create. But I speak for the bikers we develop friendships with and get to know. We built this for every single rider. It is a true blessing to have built this for you all.

Happy 3rd anniversary to everyone who has been with us from the start. Keep walking with us, keep praying, and let’s make the 4th year a financial success to keep growing. We will face bumps and big pathways to cross, but it will be worth it. Have a blessed day, bikers!

Happy 3-year anniversary!

Always,Kathryn Anne (Katie)
