$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!!!

$9,622.00 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!

We had a very short bike ride from DC to Towson MD! It was soooo fun because our friends Maura, Laurie, Chip, and Ben all joined us! We were extremely happy to have some other people to bike with. They biked with us from DC to Ellicot City where Maura lives. She made us all a huge lunch and we got to hang out at her house for a while. We know Maura, Laurie, and Chip from our triathlon club and Ben heard about us on the Surly Blog.

After an amazing lunch we said good bye to everyone and we headed to Towson. In Towson we met with Melissa Emery (also from our triathlon club). She let us stay at her extra house (that she is trying to sell). It is a super nice house and the frige is stocked full of left overs from the last triathlon race!! Sooo many treats :)

Melissa took us all out to a Thai resturant for dinner! I love Thai food!!!

We then headed to Downtown Baltimore to do karaoke. We had originally planned on doing Karaoke at the Hard Rock Cafe but they canceled their yokey because it was an outside venue and there was a 'chance' of rain. We scrambled to find another yokey bar. We were lucky to find one in Federal Hill at a place called Nevin's. We quickly called everyone we knew was comming and told them to meet us there instead. Luckily it worked out well and everyone made it to the new location! It was a great night of yokey!

It is official!! Every state that AFC visited we were able to get our yokey on!
