He then made a $1,000 donation for our Haiti Relief Efforts and has since joined the ARC Advisory Council! So your donated jersey helped to raise $6,000 for our programs and helped to foster a relationship with a new council member!"

We would never have thought it would go for that much and still surprised someone would want one of our shirts!  This was really generous of Craig Gordan and super cool that he helped out with the Haiti Response as well.  We are glad we could help out, it's truly a pleasure.

    Volunteer work with the Salvation Army

    Part of what we wish to accomplish over the next year is not only the cycling, but also giving back to the communities which we will pass through. 

    When we hit a town that has Salvation Army services, we offer our hands-on help for a day or two in the hope of encouraging the regular volunteers and also providing some relief in the volume of work that is demanded of them.

    We chose the Salvation Army because they are well respected, give practical help to those that are in need and they are also situated throughout Pan-America.

    We feel very priviledged to be associated with this hardworking organisation.   We hope that the work we do (albeit small) will be of some worth and also raise awareness of all the good work the Salvation Army does for others.
