We Have Our Team!

John Franklin Hay of Indianapolis will lead a 9-member
cycling team through Kenya in May in a fundraising
effort to raise $40,000 for a new school near Eldoret

We're happy to announce our Bike Kenya 2012 cycling team.  Eight people--six men, two women--from the American Midwest will be joined by Bishop Nixon Dingili of Kenya to pedal 600 through Kenya in May to raise funds--our goal is $40,000--to build a new school.

Our Bike Kenya 2012 team includes:

Kevin Williams of Sorento/Greenville, Illinois
Bob Burtch of Batavia, Illinois
Jack Hughey of Alton, Illinois
Mark and Megan Booth of Mogadore/Akron, Ohio
Alex Drummond of Indianapolis, Indiana
Rebecca Lamp of Bucyrus, Ohio
John Franklin Hay of Indianapolis, Indiana

Each of our team members is paying our own way, but each of us is asking individuals, organizations, fiends and associates to support our ride with a per-mile contribution that goes directly to build a new ICCM school.

Please consider a gift of 5 cents, 10c, 25c or $1 per mile--or less or more--to help us help Kenyan children have the school they need to continue and complete their education in their community.

Click here to make a Bike Kenya 2012 contribution online right now (on the ICCM Special Projects page, scroll to the bottom of the page for Bike Kenya 2012 giving options).

5c per mile = $30
10c per mile = $60
25c per mile = $150
$10 per mile = $600
We welcome lesser and greater contributions, too!

Our team members are training now for the 12 days of cycling 50-70 miles per day, day after day.  We are preparing and will put in lots of sweat equity in Kenya from May 8 to 21.

We hope you'll join us--with your contributions and your prayers and your attention.  We will post updates and photos on this blog page throughout our cycling experience in Kenya.

Lots to do.  Please check back frequently now for blog updates.
