It has begun....

I want to apologize for not having blogged earlier but with 32 people and very little internet access it is a little competitive for computer time.

I cant write much now but I want to say thank you again to everyone who helped me get to this point through donations, support and encouragement. So far this has been an amazing experience and I am so lucky to have the next two months full of biking, building and raising awareness.

A quick recap of what we have done...
Biked well over 400 miles, swam in alligator filled lakes, jumped into springs, visited museums, painted the BEST trailer in the history of Bike & Build, learned what it's like to get a flat tire in the first mile of my ride, slept on gym and dining hall floors, showered in abandoned high schools, learned how to live on peanut butter and jelly, survived some bike crashes, had some amazing home cooked food from our hosts, and meet some of the most amazing people around both within our own group and in every town we visit.

As soon as I get another chance at the internet I will fill in on the details about where we have gone and what we have built, but until then read the daily journals that we post as a team and look at all the photos that have been posted.


P.S. Shout outs to my lovely team mates and my family.... :)
