It’s been too long since my last update, so here it is.
What a wonderful experience riding across the USA and Canada this summer. The people we met were so gracious and in awe of our adventure. I met some great people and am still in touch with several of them. Road biking is occurring less due to weather and shortened daylight. But I am now continuing my joy of cycling with mountain biking. This year I will be attempting a new adventure, night time mountain biking with lights! Sounds like fun.
I want to thank everyone for the donations. I reached the 40% mark of my goal, and am still in the process of raising funds for the Nothing but Nets campaign. If you still haven’t donated, please click on the NBN site on the right hand side of the blog. It will go directly to my team page where you can make a donation with a credit card.
The journey continues with addressing the issue of malaria. I will be working with United Methodist Communications on a program called “Imagine no Malaria”. The goal is to eliminate malaria in the world. This is a very doable program. We did it in the United States and with new procedures and technologies it can be done throughout the world.
I want to continue to educate and inform people on malaria and the effects it has on the people, especially refugees in Africa. I would also like to tell people about the cycling adventure I had and how important it is to live your dreams. The lofty mountains that are in your mind can be climbed in reality and not just in the drifting thoughts that pass your consciousness like billowy summer clouds. Please contact me if you are interested in hearing my story of how I am able to do those things I enjoy and am able to accomplish through faith in God, passing through the threshold of open doors, and attempting to discern His plan for my life.
Stay tuned as I present more information the eradication of malaria.
