Collection a success!
Thank you to everyone who came out to the collection Saturday. We spent 4 hours in the cold weather assembling the bikes to be transported to Namibia, and we ended up blowing the goal out of the water! We collected over 150 bikes on Saturday, and even picked up a few more on Sunday. The total was more than 160!
There are articles in the Washington Post and the Washington Examiner newspapers today about the event and the organization. Please grab a copy and check it out!
We'll keep you updated with the press coverage and future events. Thank you again for your help!

Flyers Distributed on a cold night - December 13
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
Winston Duncan distributed 32 flyers to various businesses in the Arlington area to remind everyone of the event. It was 18 degrees with the windchill but he didn't seem to mind as he hopped back in the car with his wonderful grin of accomplishment beaming. "Mom, there was one girl who went to HB Woodlawn, this guy goes to Yorktown, and a guy in the barber shop said his son told him about the assembly program at our school. This is so great, Mom thanks for helping me!"
I am Winston's Mom and I just wanted to share with everyone his excitement for his new organization. Winston, age 11, gave me $200 from his birthday money to start this organization because he wanted to help the people of Africa. Please support his idea and bring your bikes on Saturday, December 17 to Yorktown High School.
