I thought I was going to be grasping at straws about a week before the start of the trip to get to $4,000...but I've officially reached my fundraising goal! Thank you SO much again to everyone who has donated! I'm so relieved and now I can focus on all the other work to be done...I'm becoming very familiar with the small towns in the south and their churches. I've also fallen in love with Google Earth. It is the most helpful tool, because you can zoom into a town and literally only show every church there is. In seconds! So now its go time to start calling places to see if they want to have 34 overnight visitors this summer :)
Other updates- my bike is ordered and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival, along with waiting for the snow and ice to melt so I can actually ride it. Jeff placed my Pearl Izumi order so a big chunk of my gear is on its way! C'mon spring...
