Riding to raise awareness and funds for NetsForLife, an intrepid team took off from the last day of General Convention in Anaheim to cycle across the USA heading for Episcopal Relief and Development HQ at Church Center in New York City.
In relay teams riding 24/7 and beginning day seven, this morning’s ride took them directly past All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Farmington, MO. Through coordination using Twitter, email, and the old fashioned phone, Rector Peter Van Horne was able to welcome them into the church and a wifi and email oasis. (Photo by the Rev. Beverly Van Horne, Priest at Trinity, Jefferson County)
The Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth, Bishop of Ohio, is one of the riders and you can follow his blog at http://ohiobishop.blogspot.com/. You can watch the wonderful videos and photos and blog entries at the community website, http://ohionets4life.ning.com/.
Twitter accounts to follow are http://twitter.com/dohio and http://twitter.com/episcopalrelief.
A map outlining their across the USA route is on Google.
You can donate to Nets for Life through Episcopal Relief and Development, and please encourage their work towards including the Sudan in net distribution.
