Website is up and running!

Hey all!


Kristen and I are both very excited our website is up and running!! It has been a long and tedious process that wouldn't of been possible if it wasn't for our friends Mike and Emily! Mike is the one responsible for combining all of the text, pictures, thoughts, and ideas and creating a great looking website!! Emily helped us with visual appeal, writing mechanics, and made sure that our fundraising campaigns message was clear and consistent. Thanks again for all your hard work!


Kristen is VERY HAPPY because she just got herself a brand new cross-country bike! She can start training on the road with me and dump the boring stationary bike she's been training on for several months!

Having the website up is a significant milestone for our Buy a Mile Teach a Child fundraising campaign, which we will be biking across the U.S this summer from West to East in order to raise $10,000 for Invisible Children's Schools For Schools program. The program is aimed at improving 10 secondary schools in Northern Uganda. We can't wait to graduate in less then two months, so we can hit the road!


Our next step with the Buy a Mile Teach a Child campaign is receiving company sponsorships to help achieve our campaign goal. We will be going to all the restaurants, businesses, and bike shops throughout Fort Collins Colorado to see if anyone could help support our cause. If you know of any companies that could sponosor our campaign please leave the company's name and contact info on this blog or shoot us an email to: biking4invisiblechildren@gmail.com. You can also individually sponsor us just click on the "Donate Now" link below and download the "Sponsorship Form".


If you're around Fort Collins Colorado this weekend and you want to see something neat, I would recommend checking out “Trafficked” on March 27 (6-9pm) & March 28 (1-4 & 6-9pm) at the Lighthouse (709 Wagner Drive). This is a simulation event that helps educate people about human trafficking: sex slavery, forced labor and child soldiers.
