Bike for Cambodia Results

On Saturday, October 16, 2010 a group of riders gathered to ride the Freeport-Butler Rails to Trail. We were blessed with a picture perfect fall day.

But our ride that day had a greater purpose than just the enjoyment of fellowship within our group, the lovely scenery and some exercise - we were going to help provide bicycles for children in Cambodia.

A big thank you goes out to Christie Pink who did so much to organize the event and handle registration. Because of the generosity of the riders and others who contributed to this event a total of forty six children in Cambodia will now have the blessing of a bicycle. They can go to school without being tired from a 1.5-5 mile trek. They can go to the market and have even more opportunity. A total of $1,695 was donated for the orphaned children at nine New Hope Children’s Homes. Read more about it at SEAPC web site.

Below is a picture of the Pedal the Way group co-leader Scott and his wife Laurel and the Cambodian children they were raising money for during their ride.



Based on the turn out and the success of this event, we are making Bike for Cambodia an annual event.

Thank you to all who made this event a success!
