Hello, again! My journey back to Belize is coming up (Wednesday, Oct. 29). I'm so excited to see my favorite Belizean friends again and to hand over to the kids bunches of crayons, markers, staplers, paper, and much more! Many thanks to those who donated school items and money for the students in Crique Sarco! Also a big thanks to those who helped get the word out!!

• Alamance Child Development Center
• Troop 116, Greensboro
• Cindy Farmer (FOX 8 News Greensboro)
• Greg Lloyd (the one who can fix anything!)
• Alamance Presbyterian Church Vacation Bible School (youth &adults)
• Mike Farley (1st Quadrant Asset Management, Inc.)
• Ashlee Durham
• Abby Wood
• The Richardsons
• Alamance Presbyterian Church Youth Group
• and so many others that dropped off items at my door. The list goes on and on!!

My updated tentative itinerary is first to make it to Belize in good time! I should land in Belize City around 3pm and I’ll either drive straight to San Ignacio to visit Brainard August - a great friend of mine and great friend ROW - or head straight to Punta Gorda to update my blog and crash for the night. FYI -Brainard drove our support vehicle when Nick Beazley and I bicycled across Belize. Brainard is the most street smart brother I know! (Across Belize Expedition)


I'll spend a good amount of time in the Village of Crique Sarco catching up with the people, helping them to rebuild after massive floods from this years rainy season, and capturing a lot of video footage. I found out that the kids are not in school on Thursdays so the teachers can pick up their paychecks, but I hope to run into the principle so I can personally give him the school supplies I have for the school.

From there I plan to head back to San Ignacio to spend some more time with Brainard and to capture video of the surrounding villages near San Ignacio where ROW has done, and continues to do, AMAZING work!So keep coming back! I will update this blog as I go with pictures, video and more!


One thing I love about a trip like this is that you never know what’s going to happen. So if I get a flat tire, or it rains the whole time, then so be it! It will be a great story to tell in the end!

Remember, life should be led more like an expedition rather than a journey! A journey is only going from point "A" to point "B." But an expedition is a journey with a purpose!Stay tuned!
