Welcome
Welcome to my blog. Right now I am finishing all of the preparations to start my campaign. I leave for Key West, FL on Monday and have my first opportunity to speak to students at Key West High School on Tuesday, March 31st. The following day, on April 1st, I will set out on my first day of cycling, which is bound to be a tough day because it's over a 100 miles just for me to reach mainland Florida...and that's no April Fool's joke.
I'd like to thank all of those people who have encouraged me along the way and who helped make this opportunity possible. I want to especially thank the Rotary clubs and all the Rotarians that believed in this project and myself and gave me the support to put pedal to pavement. In particular, I would like to thank Lyn Kenney, Rotary of Aiken, SC memeber and incoming AG for Rotary. She was this project's and my Godsend. She supported this campaign and found others to support it when no one else would, and she continues to be my point person, finding more and more support.
I want to encourage everyone to consider how little it takes to make a difference in someone elses life somewhere in the world, and go to my campaign donations page to give what you can. Just a tiny amount can change someones life, so please, join me in the fight to end global hunger!

Drew,
I emailed your Peace Corps site to say you are welcome to stay with us in San Diego, but I've since seen your map showing you aren't planning on being in So. CA. Bummer!! I've let my neighbor know about your fundraiser as her sister-in-law works in Rome for UN Food.
Ironic that we were at our Key West timeshare (first time in 6 years) when you were in Key West. Too bad we didn't know about you 'til afterwards since half of our timeshare went unoccupied that week.
I've enjoyed reading all your postings. A shame you've had so many mechanical issues. It's very admirable that you've made it through so much. Keep on truckin'!!
Best regards,
Chris Chase
