[...] World Bicycle Relief improves the lives of people in Africa in three big ways. The biggest way — the way I’ve focused on in my fundraisers — is bikes for schoolchildren. The second way is by providing bikes to community caregivers. [...]

Oh, Fatty. You’ve done it again. Wonderful post and now have some hope for this imperfect species of ours. I sent mine in on Monday.

Awesome post, Fatty~ You’re experience in Zambia sounds so wonderful! Thank you for sharing what you are thankful for. I think reading about what others are thankful for inspires people to do the same. I actually recently signed up with a start-up website called thankaday.com. Users post statuses of what they are thankful for each day and others can comment and share as well. I think you should check it out and maybe you can also share about your story in Zambia as well.
Thank you!

Great post Fatty- thanks for sharing. What an amazing trip and a lot to be thankful for.

I do have a question, and maybe it’s a silly naive one: I notice that the Hammer and the Swimmer (and in fact all the women in your photos) are wearing full length skirts. Especially for Hammer and Swimmer, was this for convenience, comfort, local custom, ??

Zambian culture. You’ll note that all men are wearing pants (not shorts) too. – FC

I am thankful for my Fatty Family- Eldon, Lisa, GregC, MattC, DavidH, NYCarlos, PhillyJen et al.

Memories of our Livestrong escapades and those to come as well as the opportunity to help others not as fortunate as myself has filled me with happiness.

Thank you to all my FOF’s and I wish you all a truly amazing Thanksgiving!!

Since Fatty is taking the rest of the week off please consider posting pictures of your Thanksgiving Day Pies.
Store bought or homemade, pristine or totally consumed, or both!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! and for our overseas friends….like ClydeinKS says…we’ll eat a slice for you as well.

I could use some of those wet wipes on my keyboard right now. Always interesting to explain to co-workers why I am crying over my keyboard WHILE smiling during lunch.

Donation done. Thanks for this great work. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

@Davidh-marin, since it is training now the 4th hamburger meal needs to up the ante. Go for the triple with bacon and drown in gravy. My theory is “gravy makes everything better!” (especially when preceeding PIE!!)

Happy Thanksgiving Elden & family, and all Friends of Fatty/Team Fatty!!
Have a slice for me, I’ll gladly return the favor
