72 Hours

The real countdown has begun, and I start this amazing trip in little over three days!

In the meantime, I have had a huge rush to raise the last bit of my $4,000 goal. I have seen so many people help, and I am so thankful. Today, Sunday, is the last day to make donations online. In order to do that you simple go to www.bikeandbuild.org and click on "Donate." From there you can choose the rider you would like to support and proceed with the transaction through Google Checkout. All donations are tax-deductible!

Also, The Stokes News, my small, local newspaper from back in King did a story about my journey this summer. It can be found here:

Thanks so much to Wendy Byerly Wood for giving me the opportunity to share this experience and cause to all of the people back in King.

Now I am just in the process of gathering all of my clothing and equipment and getting ready to head to the Outer Banks on Wednesday.
