Our wheels are dipped and have hit the road, with tomorrow marking one week since our journey officially began. We can't thank all those who have and continue to support us to be able to make this opportunity a reality. Our fundraising exceeded our goal, reaching $9,155 !!! Thanks to the incredible friends and family who have housed and fed us on our way through Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The first day alone - riding along the coast of Maine with this amazing group of people - would have been an experience worthy of all the preparation alone; and we still have an entire summer of days full of opportunity ahead.
Since beginning orientation, we have energized build sites with local Habitat for Humanity affiliates in Portland and Fitchburg, encouraged each other as a team in our biking groups on three consecutive rides around 50 miles each, and soaked up all of the amazing hospitality offered to us along the way.
Tomorrow, we continue our ride through Massachusetts on our way to our next build site in Pittsfield, MA, before heading on to New York and Pennsylvania for several more long and hilly but beautiful days in the saddle. We will do our best to capture this experience to share with all of you who care so much. We cannot express the gratitude we feel to be exactly where we are, doing exactly what we are doing!
Biking and Building On!
You guys ROCK!! Jonah and I are so proud of you both and so honored to have met you and to have you in our lives! You are both worlds changers! Ride on:)
