New Horizons Habitat helps Fuller Center replace Bike Adventure team's trailer

 
Submitted On June 22, 2011

While en route to Seattle to begin its
cross-country trip to raise awareness
and funds for the Fuller Center for
Housing's fight against poverty housing,
the Fuller Center Bike Adventure team's
van and trailer crashed in Burley, Idaho,
on June 7.

Donors quickly stepped forward to help
the team purchase a replacement van,
and New Horizons Habitat for Humanity
led an effort to replace the trailer. On
Wednesday, New Horizons Executive
Director Joel Kellam officially presented
the Fuller Center with the finished trailer,
fresh with new artwork promoting the
Adventure's mission.

In addition to New Horizons, others stepped
forward to help secure the trailer for the
Fuller Center, including Cliff Sizemore and
Darrie Hart of Ameri-Green Environmental
Recycling LLC; Robert Littlejohn of Johnny's
Sheds; Johnny Shiver of Shiver Lumber
Company; Lee Pinnell of Clinic Drug Store;
and Dr. Wallace Mays.

“All of the above were quick to react
and lend a helping hand, and we are all
thankful there were no serious injuries,”
Kellam said.

“One good thing about a crisis — it does
bring people together,” Fuller Center
President David Snell said. “We are truly
grateful to our friends and New Horizons
Habitat for Humanity for pulling together
the funds to replace our Bike Adventure
trailer.”

Snell and his wife, Sheilla, are now en
route to Colorado Springs, Colo., where
they will leave the trailer for the Bike
Adventure team to pick up on July 11
during its ride through Colorado.

What is a Virtual Rider?

A Virtual Rider is an individual who is unable to participate in the Bicycle Adventure as a rider or volunteer, but would still like to fundraise and help raise awareness about the issue of poverty housing. This is a great option for those who are passionate about the work of the Fuller Center and want to be a part of this movement to help eliminate poverty housing. It is a good way to make an impact and raise awareness right in your own community. This also can be a way to raise money for your local Fuller Center covenant partner because, just like the other riders, you get to choose where your donations go.

Fuller Center Public Appeal For Van

June 7, 2011 -- On the way to the kick-off of the fourth annual Fuller Center Bike Adventure in Seattle, Washington, eight of our team members riding in the support van were in an accident on Interstate 84-West. The back tire blew, and the van swerved and then flipped upside down. Although no one was seriously injured, both the van and trailer were totaled.

A trailer was recently donated to us by Joel Kellum from New Horizons Habitat for Humanity. We also recently purchased a replacement 12-15 seat van on credit so this important fundraising trip could continue. Please help us finish raising $15,000 so we can pay this purchase off and press onward with our nine-week journey from Washington state to Washington, D.C.!
