Message from Sam Millar ('99):
"As part of the trip we're raising funds for a Canadian group called Spread the Net. This NGO has been very effective at distributing anti-malarial nets in Africa—an empirically proven way to overcome one of the biggest health challenges and brake on quality of life and development in Africa.
We set an initial target of C$5,000, but we've been absolutely floored by the generosity of friends and strangers alike, having nearly met this initial objective in only a matter of weeks.
As such, Peter and I have decided to increase our aspiration considerably; to C$50,000 or the equivalent of 5,000 nets.
If you are so inclined, please consider supporting Spread the Net at our dedicated website here (tax receipts will be issued directly by StN). We've indicated a suggested donation of C$60 (six nets or ½¢ for each KM we ride!!!) but of course any amount would be most welcome.
Feel free to forward on to others who may have an interest and a big thanks to all those who've already donated so generously!"
