#Cycling to Fight Poverty

February 9, 2015 / Comments Off

WOW!! We made it! The 207 Miles Ride from Peoria, AZ to the 1Mission Compound just outside Rocky Point Mexico!!

Took us TWO days. 124 miles for the first day and 93 miles the second day. 70+ riders raised over $60,000!!!

***But remember….even though the bike ride is over, fund raising is still going on because the actual house we’re building doesn’t happen until Mid-March! so…CLICK HERE to donate!***

Here are some pictures from the amazing trip!
