Thank you!

Thank you to all of you who have donated to Awaken Africa. I never cease to be amazed and touched by peoples' generosity. If you are not able to donate, I appreciate you following my journey and perhaps reading about Awaken Africa and becoming more aware of the challenges the children of Africa face, or for that matter the children of the world.

Here is one minute video showing what Awaken Africa( soon to be Lion Hearted Kids) does. Your donations will help perpetuate this environment for traumatized children.

We are in Sevierville, TN, which you may not have heard of until I say that Dollywood is just up the road. We had a couple of our longest cycling days to get here from Nashville, but the weather couldn't have been better. Our backdrop is a kaleidoscope of the season changing leaf colors covering the rolling hills. The dogs are still nice and feisty, and the Romney/Ryan posters litter the yards. The mornings are cool, and the midday sun is warm. Tomorrow we cross in North Carolina.
