I agree with you 100%. When we donate from our fundraising it goes to places that work towards ending poverty with the idea of going from aid to independence .mthat means helping people learn and developing community projects and jobs. Thanks for your good work and keep it going.

So Cool! $2500.00 to go!

Elden, I’m buying a lottery ticket Friday, so if you are coming up a little short, let me know, I’m SURE this is the week my numbers will come in!

I just got in under the wire for matching donation! I knew I would donate as soon as the campaign was announced, but I like drama and suspense, just like in Fatty’s race reports. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

Wow, that loaded down bicycle — makes me feel bad that I sent my husband off to the post office by car with some packages that I couldn’t fit into my panniers.

@Clydesteve

I’m sure your Mom and Dad appreciate those clay creations you make today, just as much as that first one way back in elementary school. To them they are irreplaceable art…not hunk o’ junk….but they’ll like there new Specialized bike just as much.

You donated in THEIR name…didn’t you?

Up to 3 bikes and 1.5, soon-to-be 2 tool kits =
6 bikes and 4 toolkits – Woowie-Zowie!

And my Mom and Dad are ecstatic about having them given in their name in lieu of another hunk o’ junk for Christmas.

@davidh – our notification should come at the same time just so we CAN pick the same Twin6 tee!

@Roger – WOW! it is a “hand-up” but still proclaim you Fatty’s Zambian Santa. I would gladly allow your notification to come prior to David and I receiving good word!

I’m willing to bet that ‘Albert’ soon had an advertising tag on the bikes….
“As ridden by World Famous Comedic Mastermind”. Did you sign the top tube?

@ClydeinKS I’m sure you’ll get your notification right after me. Let’s talk so we don’t both pick the same Twin6 T-shirt.

Elden. I’m confident you purchased some bikes for the twins in lieu of more traditional presents. I know they’ll be thrilled by the card. Since I too am contemplating this ‘gift decision’ for my own young kids, I wanted any advice you might have should they not be as excited with this result, as I will be when the email notification comes.

Thanks
