BIKE A THON!


We have been hard at work planning the bike a thon and we are so excited for it! It will be so much fun! It is APRIL 9th at 10 am. Meet at the bowery by the Farr west park -(1896 N 1800 W- by the rec center) - we are closing off half of the parking lot and doing 5 loops around the park so it is a good distance for toddler, kids, dad, mom, grandma or everything in between. EVERYONE is Welcome- Bikers, skaters, strollers, skateboards, walkers - however you want to do it! 100% of everything earned goes to our PEACE PAL friends in Ghana and Togo Africa. We are trying to get all the kids mosquito nets. Did you know that by the time you have read this a child in Africa has died from malaria- and the BEST method of prevention is a simple mosquito net! ( we have been planning this for a few months with peace pal but with the tragedy in Japan we will be sending some of the money there also)
Registration is 7$- it gets you entered into the bike a thon, a number bib (this is official stuff people) a peacepal bracelet ( they are cute and really good quality) and yummy treats afterwards- cupcakes and hopefully some healthy stuff too..like fruit and
great harvest bread(working on donations) , but more important than all that you get to have fun with your kids and help others at the same time and that my friends is priceless :).
You can Pre-register by emailing me at watsonkalani@yahoo.com. I can only guarantee bracelets for those that pre register. You are welcome to sign up day of also but I could run out of bracelets-and they are half the fun! :)
For those that live too far away and want to still help you can buy bracelets! They are 5.50$- a button is on the right hand side- I will ship anywhere in the us for that. You can also pay your registration fee there too- just remember to email me. We are also working on some cool t shirts- more to come on that....
Hope to see you there!!!
