Here is an opportunity to instill Christian values and donate to a good cause at the same time.
The Fuller Center for Housing provides housing, similar to Habitat for Humanity, with a special caveat. Their Bicycle Adventures, of which there are six this year in the US, get funding from the riders. Each rider donates $4,500 which goes toward building the houses.
Scholarship programs are offered, and one has been set up in my name, Clarence Gilles, to which people can contribute to help the less affluent, mostly college students, cover up to ½ of the donation needed to go on an adventure trip. Different churches put them up for the night and feed them on the route.
All, of the money goes to sponsoring young riders and all, of that money ends up building homes for those in need. Fuller is a 503C Christian organization. This year a friend is donating, to each participant, a copy of my book “On My Way.” The book will be used for group studies on these trips.

Any amount would be appreciated, and if you know of someone who would like to go on a trip, please froward this information to them. Riders of all ages are regulars on these trips. Participation by young people is especially necessary to introduce them to this rewarding and enriching program.
