It's all in the game...
The players:
Libby Loft. 23, 5'4", voted by high school peers "biggest procrastinator". Social justice advocate, once got marooned on a Mediterranean island by 2 psychotic Italians, loves mangos.
Sam Burnham. 24, 6'4", Division I B-baller during her college career. Ex-camel trainer for the Big Apple Circus, can unicycle and juggle bowling pins.
The challenge:
Bike from Toronto, Canada, through Niagara Falls, and across NY/VT/NH toward the coast of Maine covering as much distance as we can by August 31st.
The objective:
Talk to as many people as possible about issues in access to healthcare so that we can help become better care-givers and change the current healthcare system to work for the people who most need it. Spread ridiculousness, joy, and love while we do it.
The fun part:
Getting as many free meals as possible. We'll be camping everywhere we go, asking families if we can stay in their fields or backyards. Hopefully folks will offer us a shower as well, or it might turn out to be a pretty pungent adventure :)
The kickoff:
Sunday, August 21st, 2006. Wish us luck, and stay tuned for updates.
