Welcome

Please join us in support to raise funds and awareness of the Chikumbuso Women and Orphans Project and World Bicycle Relief as we bike from coast to coast June-August 2010.

Our goals:

To provide a well for a community soccer field in the compound of Ng’ombe in Zambia currently used by the Chikumbuso Grassroot Soccer Team. Chikumbuso provides free education and meals to 300 orphans as well as empowering widows and single moms through microenterprise projects.

Estimated cost- $10,000

Raise funds to donate 100 bicycles for an entire school through WBR- Bicycle Educational Empowerment Program. WBR has pledged to supply 50,000 bicycles to schools in Zambia. Recognizing the particular vulnerability of female children and the importance of educating girls, 70% of student recipients will be girls.

Cost- $13,500

To create awareness of Hasbro’s http://www.projectzambi.com/ inspired by a visit to the Chikumbuso Project.

Support Vehicle

We are grateful to have Wayne Berardi traveling along with us this summer. He is going to be our lifeline, our only hope when something major breaks in the middle of nowhere, he is driving our support truck. When we are spending long days in the saddle, we'll be looking forward to arriving in camp with a place to lay down and something warm to eat. Or maybe it's fluids we'll be craving. Unfortunately he can't take the whole summer off like we are. He is giving us three weeks of valuable landscaping time from Oregon through Wyoming. So if anyone out there has some vacation days burning a hole in your pocket and want to have a memorable summer, maybe you'll want to join us for a bit. We need a little help making it through the mid-west and back east. Any time that we don't have a support driver, one of us will have to skip a day of riding, and I doubt Dad will give up any time on the road. So if anyone is interested, just leave us a comment or shoot us an email. Thanks!-Ben
