I wanted to make a quick post thanking everyone who donated to make my trip possible! This has been a wonderful experience so far and I definitely would not be here without everyone's help. As a team, we have raised over $100,000 so far, which I think is incredible. Each donation brought us closer to our goal. So thank you to all my friends and family for being supportive and giving me this opportunity. :DI also wanted to thank George Garner Cyclery in Northbrook for helping me choose the perfect bike for my journey. And oh yes, for tuning it up for me so quickly when I brought it back to Chicago all messed up. (I didn't even know there was that much wrong with my bike ... but now I can switch gears so smoothly and it feels like I'm gliding).I can't say this enough to everyone but maybe once more will help... THANK YOU for being supportive and making this possible! :)
