For those of you in the Northeast you may have noticed we got some snow this past weekend. We even got Monday off from school and Kathy had her first proper snowball fight. Oh the memories. Also this past weekend my boyfriend gave me his belated Christmas gift: a GoPro Hero3 HD camera! This means that awesome training/trick/informational videos are coming your way. Tricks you say? Yes, tricks! Maybe not quite the tricks featured in the last video I posted, but I promise you they will be awesome. Kathy says she'll just be filming but I'm sure we can get her to try something. Of course bike tricks will have to wait till we receive our bikes. Kathy and I are still each roughly $800 short of getting our bikes and that's if we decide not to upgrade any of their components. The bike which Bike & Build has selected for our trip across the country is the Giant Avail 3. Were both pretty stoked about this model but it's important that we have ample riding time before our trip to grow accustomed to them and replace anything which may be unsatisfactory, like the saddle for instance. So it's important that we raise this money sooner rather than later any amount you donate helps.
For those Sweet Frog (frozen yogurt) lovers out there in the Stony Brook area, Kathy and I hope to hold a fundraiser with them in the weeks to come. With any luck 20% of their revenue for a day will be going to affordable housing so stay in touch to learn how to participate by simply eating frozen yogurt.
Please feel free to leave a comment or email us we'd love to hear any suggestions or opinions!
Here's one of my favorite trials video, enjoy:
Special thanks to our donors thus far and please continue to tell friends about our cause!
This is going to be one of those comments that you're like, "Kathryn, we got a comment!!! Oh ... never mind ... it's from your sister." Sorry!
ReplyDeleteBut if we're not in the Stony Brook area, can we still lobby your SF to give y'all some of that 20%?
I'm pretty sure that these fundraisers only work locally. As much as I wish that you could go into any Sweet Frog anywhere and use our flier, they would probably look at you as if you had two heads. But your fro-yo would be as delicious as ever!
