Noel on the Natchez

Thursday, December 30, 2010

Miranda, Marybeth, and Stuart: We are Miranda Muir (age 10), Marybeth Hamilton, and Stuart Muir). From December 24 to December 31, we will be riding our three-person bike down the Natchez Trace, an historic route stretching 444 miles from Nashville, Tennessee, to Natchez, Mississippi. Our aim is to raise $5000 for Bikes Not Bombs. This grassroots organization takes in more than 5,000 bikes each year and re-uses them in innovative youth programs, international development projects, and its vocational training/retail shop. Its international program has shipped more than 40,000 bikes since 1984 to Nicaragua, South Africa, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Tanzania, Ghana and other countries to establish micro-enterprises in bicycle sales and appropriate technology. Visit their website: bikesnotbombs.org.
