No Boundaries Tour: The Fight Against Human Trafficking
Scott Gottschalk of Kimball is embarking on an epic journey from May 25th through September 18th – covering over 120,000 miles on his motorcycle – in an effort to stop human trafficking. The No Boundaries Tour will begin in Miami, Florida and will result in the setting of a world record for the longest journey by an individual motorcyclist in a single country.
Gottschalk recently released a book, “No Boundaries Tour: The Fight Against Human Trafficking” which provides many details about the upcoming trip and all of the logistical planning that has taken place over the past 4 years as Scott has been preparing. The book includes fascinating details of how he first fell in love with motorcycles and used a motorcycle for transportation during his years at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. He goes on to tell about some of the harrowing cross-country rides he’s taken over the years – encountering a grizzly bear, and hitting a mule deer at 70 mph at 2 a.m. in the Nevada desert back in 2009 and not being discovered until 5 hours after the crash – an event that resulted in numerous broken bones and in which he nearly died.
Gottschalk says he was looking for a cause that would really get him upset in which he could raise funds, and after seeing the movie “The Sound of Freedom,” he developed a passion for fighting human trafficking. He says in order to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records, he will be satellite-tracked during his 120-day journey.
Proceeds from the tour will benefit Motivational Missions, a 501c3 non-profit, non-religious organization designed to help children around the world with a media campaign to raise awareness of human trafficking. Scott is hoping to accomplish the tour in time for his 70th birthday. He turns 70 on September 16th and will have a finale event on September 18th at the Vikingland Harley Davidson dealership in Sauk Rapids.
