"Far from home-Breckenridge lives in Columbia Heights, Khosravi in New York-the two friends decided they needed help. After uploading a photo of a major crack in the support beam holding the three-wheeler's engine to, of all places, ChatGPT, the verdict was discouraging. Dude, you should not be driving this. Nevertheless, Breckenridge and Khosravi forged ahead, careful to maintain a speed under 50 kilometers per hour-which kind-of mitigated the rattling noise."
"Working with a mutual friend, Stuart Murphy, as team Kublai Kai, the duo used the event to raise just under $15,000 for the World Literacy Foundation, which works to expand child literacy around the globe. Two years ago, they raised almost $27,000 while participating. "Because of our efforts, [the WLF is] going to expand into India, and they're still just trying to figure out what that looks like," Breckenridge says. "To us, knowing that there's going to be something lasting and permanent is amazing.""
Russ Breckenridge and Pendar Khosravi traveled across India in a motorized rickshaw and encountered a major crack in the support beam. They uploaded a photo to ChatGPT and received a discouraging verdict advising against driving, yet they continued, keeping speeds under 50 kilometers per hour to mitigate rattling. The journey was part of the Rickshaw Run, spanning from Leh to Jaisalmer and crossing the Umling La Pass, the highest motorable road. Working with a friend as team Kublai Kai, they raised just under $15,000 for the World Literacy Foundation, supporting planned expansion into India and lasting literacy initiatives.
