HIS VLOG ON YOUTUBE

Hey guys,

My name is Benjamin Schnau. I'm an actor, host and author based in Los Angeles, London and Berlin. Some of you know my story but for most of you that will be the very first time hearing about it. I never talked openly about my private life but I feel like this is bigger than this. When I was 21 years old I lost my mother through breast cancer which completely changed my life. It was very hard for me and still is at times but I needed to learn to accept it. Since then, I lived in different places in Europe and now in the U.S. trying to find my place in life. But deep within there was always that desire that I needed to do something, doing my part against this terrible disease and also keep the promise to my mom to show her the world through my eyes. Now the time has come and I'm ready for it.

It's hard for me to believe that there is nothing out there yet that can cure cancer. So therefore I made a decision. In order to move something and make the world hopefully a better place I decided to ride my bicycle from Los Angeles to New York City for around 3,200 miles in order to raise awareness for small- and midsize charities and organizations to help as many people as possible. This mission is not just for my mom but all of us, for people who fought it, fight it right now or will fight it in the future. It can hit everybody at any time, so I make sure that I do everything in my power to get us closer together, show solidarity and work towards curing cancer forever.

I therefore created @InesAdele , a movement named after my mother's- and grandma's first name in order to create a support organization that is helping existing organizations that offer free support, seminars, workshops and much more plus helping specialized clinics in order to further develop necessary treatments. If you want to be part of @InesAdele and move something with us for your family, friends and community, then it would make me very happy if you would join us to become part of our movement, take part in our upcoming sports activities and share our Instagram page. The goal is to raise as much awareness as possible for all these groups that are giving their all so that people fighting this disease will hear of them and get every support they need. This movement is dedication to life.

I will start my ride on May, 29th 2022 and you can follow me every second along the way. Thank you all for being part of this, that means a lot to me. - Benjamin Schnau
