30,000 kilometers. 27 Countries. 6 continents. One mission.
Blading For Bees Earth
The Journey
On March 1st, 2026, Zach will start skating in Vancouver. Six to eight months later, he'll finish in the same spot—having traveled through 27 countries, across 6 continents, skating an average of 170 kilometers every single day.
This isn't just an adventure. It's a mission. Every kilometer raises awareness about the crisis facing pollinators. Every city visited spreads the message about world hunger. Every day on the road proves that one person can spark a global movement.
And you can follow every single moment of it.
