THE MISSION WE'RE BIKING LIKE CRAZY FOR A PURPOSE Motivation In search for an inspiring adventure, To break free of our society’s privileges, To help underprivileged children in Honduras, By giving them the power of knowledge. The Great 48 undertake this journey with a simple message: To excite. To educate. To love.
The orphanage is located near Comayagua, Honduras. For most of the children, this is their home, their school and their one hope of a normal life. Because of this, they deeply value the education and the refuge they receive. This is displayed by their enthusiasm to learn both in and out of the classroom. As of now, the orphanage has an elementary school that educates the orphans living there and children from the neighboring community.
We traveled almost 10,000 miles over the course of 5.5 months and raised over $60,000 along the way. Most importantly, the school was built and now provides education to children in the orphanage and the surrounding community! So many people were crucial in making this dream a reality. Many thanks to everyone that donated to our cause and especially those that gave us a platform to speak about our mission - there is absolutely no way we could have raised enough money to build the school without your help.
