Ready to Fly

This little bird is getting ready to fly.  On May 9, she will leave with us on a three-day train ride across the country, and then perch on our handlebars as we begin the 'Long Haul for Haiti' Tour, heading back home from Heron, Montana.  Crafted by young artists at the Art Creation Foundation for Children in Jacmel, Haiti, the bluebird is a symbol of hope. Crossing the North American continent is a huge effort that takes resolve and persistence, but it is not nearly as long or arduous as the road to recovery for the people of Haiti after the earthquake of January, 2010.  Help is needed for years after emergency needs of food, medical care and temporary housing have been met.  The sudden loss of family members, destruction of homes and disruption of daily routines takes an especially deep toll on children.  That is why we chose to dedicate this year's Rolling Home Tour to the ACFFC and to encourage people we meet along the way to directly support this wonderful organization. Please see our 'donate' page and help our fragile little friend continue on her journey for years to come.
