September 18, 2009 The Year is Speeding By

Well here i am again with my excuse of not having time to take pictures and update you on all that we have been doing.

We just got back from Marquette, Michigan in the UP in time to go to a fund-raiser for the Optomotrists Assocn for our friends Thom Armstead and Frank Rashid, to help the blind.

We were in the UP with our Habitat for Humanity Build for two weeks, met some great people and renewed friendships with others. Gained a couple of pounds but I'm working them off.

We will be staying here until the first of December when we leave for Georgia and Americus the home of Habitat. We will also be building with Mobile AL build coordinator Mary and Dave Vandeveld in January. We plan on building in Alice, Texas in February.

We have done so much this year it is impossible to tell you everything. Tony so far is cancer free after his operation in Georgia this summer.

I am coordinating the RV Care-a-vanner program for US/Canada and that is taking all my time for now. Hope it gets easier. Hope you all are having a great summer and fall and we touch bases with you here or there...

August 8 The End of a Perfect Ride!

Thanks for hanging in there for Tony, he made the Atlantic and dipped his front tire into the water. The bikers were overjoyed to be at the finish line, but this is just the beginning of a lifelong commitment for them to help others and spread the word! Final statistics for Tony’s bike trip across America Total days: 56 Total biking days: 45 Average miles per day: 75 Total miles: 3322 Less truck driving days and breakdowns (broken spokes, etc): 404 Miles biked by Tony: 3017 (probably among the top 3) Total broken spokes by Tony: 5 Total broken spokes by everyone else: 0 Total flats by Tony: about 13 Total flats by everyone else: unknown – one person only had 3 Total money raised to date: $5,088 which means somewhere in the Democratic Republic of the Congo an entire house will be built with the funds raised by my friends and relatives – THANK YOU!
