A word of thanks to the people who helped make this trip as successful as it has been. It was a wonderful adventure, and we have felt support from so many.
Thank you first to Mom, Dad, and Peter who said yes at the beginning, and followed through when it became clear we weren't kidding. For pre-ride breakfasts, picnic lunches and daily campsite set-ups and tear downs. For keeping us fed, doing our laundry, and sharing in our enthusiasm.
Thank you to all those who supported the Stephen Lewis Foundation. We were blown away by the generosity of our family, friends and colleagues, and those who had heard about our trip second-hand. We set out to raise $5,000 and ended up raising over $9,000!! This will make a real difference in the lives of some of those living with HIV/AIDS in Africa, and it is of this that we are most proud:)
Finally, thanks to the friends who encouraged us along the way, and to our colleagues and teammates who put up with a 3 week absence!
Liz and Sarah
This is absolutely heart-swellingly inspirational. You guys have done such a terrific thing... and I hope you're bursting with pride. So wonderful that you could do it together (with each other AND your cheerleaders/cooks!). You rock. A most heartfelt congrats to you guys.
