thank you Cynthia Saiah for you donation!
$20,000 is the goal for Kupenda. That is the amount needed to build a boarding facility so that 30+ children, who have disabilities, will get to go to school!!! It is a chance to really make a difference in a lot of people's lives!!!

Battling diabetes is something that is close to our hearts since Adam has Type I Diabetes. AFC's mission at it's core is to raise awareness, show other diabetics that anything is possible, and to do anything to combat diabetes!

Today was our first day biking with RAGBRAI! It was quite the experience. There are thousands of bikers everywhere! When you get to a town you have to get off your bike because there are so many people on the streets that no one is able to bike.When we got to the finishing town we were too late to setup for the expo. We didn't know it would be so crazy! We are going to get up super early tomorrow so we can get to the finishing town before the crowd of people so we can setup for the expo for tomorrow! We talked to so many people yesterday at the expo that we just cant afford to miss another one. This is a great opportunity to really get the word out about what we are doing.
Yesterday we also met with Eric Sovern from Surly, the company that made our bikes. He visited us at the RAGBRAI Expo. He gave us some new bearings for our wheels, we really needed those. Thanks so much Eric.

When you get to D.C., if it's during the work week, think about stopping by at the National Council on Disability and talking with the staff about Le Tour day AFC.

It has been great seeing you guys along the route on RAGBRAI. Hope you are enjoying yourself. It was fun meeting Jason and Mike and introducing them to mulberry/rhubarb crisp! I just hope you guys get a chance to hold a pig while in Iowa! :-) Iowa people are the best!
Thanks for the T-shirt - I will wear it proudly.
Take care,

Just wondering -- the photos I've seen at www.dmregister.com make it look like cars aren't allowed on the roads with the bikes.
How's the support car making out?
Also, has it been restful for you guys doing fewer miles than you had been, or are you compensating with the extra, er, social life ;) ?
Hope everyone's well.
