So all the hard work with fund raising, interning and training has made its way to this moment. I leave early tomorrow morning for Nag's Head to meet up with the other 33 people that have made this commitment for the summer. I have been looking forward to (and dreading leaving everything/everybody behind for 2.5 months) this moment for four months and it has finally been realized. I am biking across the country/continent starting Thursday. From what I hear and expect, this is going to be the most exciting/interesting/enlightening summer of my life. I can't wait to dip my rear wheels in the Atlantic in two days and set off on this amazing journey from there.
In an update of my fund raising effort, I think I have come to the total of $3,650 from everyone. I plan to make up the difference as my own kind of donation toward the effort this summer. Even though it is too late to have money counted toward my total (unless you find me tonight in Chapel Hill), I hope that you will still try to help Bike & Build by donating whatever you can toward the organization. You can make a general contribution by going to www.bikeandbuild.org and clicking "Donate."
Thanks so much to everyone that helped me in getting me to where I am now. I promise your money will go so far.
Hopefully the next post I make will be from the road, wherever that may be...
Cheers
