New fundraising idea!

Once I reach $1,000 I can order my bike and start training.
My new idea is that everyone who donates up to the first $1,000 will get their name written on my bike.
So donate now to help me get my bike and have your name ride across the country with me this summer!

Donate here using google checkout,
it's super easy and they email you a receipt for your tax-deductible donation.

Magnets!

I picked up my check from Bricolage a couple days ago,

I sold 11 magnets in December and made $53!!!!

Can't wait to deposit this and add it to my Bike & Build account!

here are some of my magnets that you can find at Bricolage in Boise or buy directly from me

More details on my B&B route!

I am so excited for this route, it looks absolutely amazing and extremely challenging (duh).

Here is a list of some of the awesome reasons why I am excited about this route

• I've really wanted to visit Charleston for a long time, having heard nothing but good things about it
• This route has the most build days (17), and according to B&B's website they "fund and build an entire house in the process"
• We have a build day in Athens, GA which is another awesome place friends have advertised to me
• We have a day off in Little Rock, AK
• 6 build days in Colorado Springs!
• During our build day in Rifle, CO I plan on making as many references to "my guns" (my muscles) as possible, my team will love me.
• We bike through the lovely Salt Lake City, maybe I'll ride my first roller-coaster there... maybe.
• THEN, we head into Idaho!! Biking through Burley, where my Grandma lives.
• Build day in Boise (where I live), I'll introduce everyone to my big city livin'
• I'll turn 21 in Chico, CA
• then we finish in beautiful Santa Cruz, CA where I will hopefully stay for two days extra to fully cherish and unwind from the insanity that I have survived.

I've been hearing that Mustache Mondays are a B&B tradition, I look forward to them. I would also like to add Facepaint Fridays, or any day really. Facepaint is great.

flashback!

Here's an old picture of an athlete and I at the
2010 National Special Olympic Games in Nebraska.

This was one of my favorite projects in Americorps, definitely the most fun.

Getting volunteer hours while dancing is the best way to do it!
