$11,954.62 for Kupenda
Donation thanks to Mike (who we are staying with in Muscatine)
$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!!!
$8,936.00 for ADA
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 a much needed rest day. We got tons of stuff done that needed to be done. Adam and I spent all day at our computers typing away at emails to people/places we are going to be staying at in the upcomming weeks and modifying our route so that we are at the right places at the right times. Jesse put the new chains on the bikes and put in the new bearings that Eric Sovern, our friend from Surly, gave to us.
We also got caught up on much needed sleep. I slept like 10hrs last night!
Weezal and Jason Cusick left this morning. They left so early that when I woke up they were gone (or else I just slept really late).
Before we went to bed we spent some quality time talking to Mike and Dee who have been our hosts in Muscatine for the past two days. We got in touch with them through their son who found us on the Surly Blog it has been awesome hanging out with this family! Mike and D were also nice enough to let our friend Brent stay over.
(PhillyK, Jesse, Dee, Mike, and Brent)We met Brent a longggg time ago back when we first got to Oregon. He has been biking across the country from West to East just like us! It has been great hanging out with him and sharing so many crazy stories.
