Shonny V’s Next Adventure
XTERRA World Champion Shonny Vanlandingham may be “retired” but she’s not slowing down.
“I was recently asked to join this group of inspiring women on a mission to Nepal to help with their recovering economy,” said Vanlandingham.
Endure Nepal, a women’s mountain bike documentary, is using mountain biking as a vehicle to help the relief efforts in Nepal.
“I am honored to be a part of the Endure Nepal,” said Vanlandingham. “I will be able to utilize my degree in nutrition to help feed the people of Nepal through the greenhouse projects and use my background as a professional XTERRA and mountain bike racer as a platform to bring exposure through the film to others around the world.”
Shonny and the other members of the Endure Nepal team will ride Rocky Mountain Sherpa 650B+ bikes to a remote village in the Langtang Valley in Nepal to start a self-sustaining greenhouse project in the area. The project will help provide better nutrition and economic empowerment to the people of the region.
Film festival showings and sales of the finished full-length feature film will go toward the continued building of greenhouses and community recovery efforts from the devastating earthquakes of 2015. Endure Nepal is in the final days of a Kickstarter to raise funds for the project, where 65.5 cents of every dollar raised will go directly into Nepal. You can learn more and donate here.
