Doing big things!

I have accomplished so much today. I just finished typing my fundraising letter and sent it out to everyone in the Monmouth Bike & Build Facebook group! I'm talking like 300 people. So, there is a good chance that at least some of these wonderful friends of mine will help me on my way. My next step is to mail out all my other letters once I can get myself to a working printer! This will include my family, friends, past teachers, old bosses, etc. Anyone I have ever known pretty much =)

I have also took some time to take the Bike & Build Safety Quiz, which has brought me one step closer to receiving my bike. So everyone reading this, I need $400 more dollars to order it. By the way, this is the bike:

I'm still in the works with some fundraising ideas with Ruben, Heather, and Ed.  We have thought about having a fundraising party, maybe a pong tournament, and supposedly some head shaving extravaganza (which makes me a little nervous =/ haha). Let me know if you have any other ideas!

It's time to get the wheels a rollin'

First off, I would like to thank those who have donated to Bike & Build so far. I really appreciate your support. Thank you for bringing me one step closer toward my goal this summer.

Winter has been real tough. It's been hard to motivate myself to get out and exercise in these sub zero weather conditions. It's also been real hard making sure I not only receive the required donation of $4,000, but that I have enough money to pay my bills while away on this biking adventure. Arrrr money is the source of all evil! Regardless, I am 100% committed to Bike & Build and I will find a way to get to South Carolina come May!

So please help support a great cause and send my a$$ cross-country this summer!
