Welcome to Bike Kenya 2012

Looking for 10 pedaling participants...and lots of supporting participants!

Just getting started.  Start following now.  It's going to be a fun adventure!  Bookmark or follow this page (see sidebar) and start following our tweets - @bikekenya2012.

Bike Kenya 2012 is all about a 2-week bicycle ride through Kenya in May 2012 to raise awareness and funds to build a secondary school in Nyakach.

I'm John Franklin Hay of Indianapolis, Indiana.  I'm the project coordinator/team leader.  I've pedaled through India (2000 miles) and Vietnam (650 miles) with small teams to raise awareness and funds to build a hospital and get children sponsored for their education and wellness.  I look forward to this special ride!

We're looking for 10 people who are willing and able (1) to raise at least $40,000 together for property and construction of a new secondary school in Nyakach, a village in Kenya, and (2) ride a bicycle 550 miles within two weeks through hilly terrain to raise awareness of the project and gain understanding of Kenyan culture and opportunities.  Each team member will pay their own event costs (about $3000) and commit to try to help the team raise at least $40,000 for the project.

Think about it.  Pray about it.  Consider it.  Contemplate it.  More info here soon.  Bookmark this blog; save it as a "favorite."  Check back frequently.
