We're making lists and checking them twice. We're under the three-week threshold as our Bike Kenya 2012 team counts down to May 6. That's the day our eight North American team members depart Chicago and Cleveland for Nairobi to begin a 600-mile bike ride through Kenya. We will be joined by team member Bishop Nixon Dingili in Kenya.
We are sweating details now so we will be free to sweat on the open roads as we pedal across the Rift Valley and into the highlands to raise funds to build a new International Child Care Ministries (ICCM) school in northwest Kenya.
We hope you and more friends will support the school-building effort with a per-mile contribution to match our bicycling. $30. $60. $150. $600. More. Less. Whatever you can give goes 100% toward the school project.
Remember, every cyclist is covering all of his/her own expenses. There is no cost to ICCM or VISA or the Kenyan school for our effort. The full amount of every donation goes to the school.
I have been only half-jokingly asking friends, "So, is my pedaling across Kenya worth at least 5 cents a mile to you?" I hope so. More, hopefully! If so, please join others to make a difference for the futures of children in Kenya who are seeking education through ICCM.
