Howdy!David LaMotte, the co-founder of PEG, a talented singer/songwriter from North Carolina, a dedicated peace activist and good friend, officially kicked off our fundraising initiative with a concert at Sewanee (Eric's college in Tennessee) on Friday, Nov. 16th. Good news: The concert was beautiful, fun and loved by all who attended. The Great News: By the end of the concert, we had collected our first round of donations that will go directly toward the building a school in the Guatemalan village of Chacaya: $31 !!!!
David, Jason and I were ecstatic to receive the charter donations to this effort and make this project a reality. So begins the ambitious fundraising campaign to give $20,000 of help towards Guatemalan schools. Let this be the beginning of a successful charity drive!
Which will be more difficult: riding our bikes across Canada at an average rate of 100 miles per day, or meeting our fundraising goal? Leave the first challenge for us to overcome, but you can help us with the second!
