Bikeathon Training Update

Training for the bikeathon has been a steady build-up, and I’m thrilled to share that I recently completed my longest ride yet—50 miles! It was a challenging ride, but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made. Afterward, I definitely needed a good nap to recover!

I know everyone is training hard to be mentally and physically ready for the big day on November 2nd. I’m so excited and can’t wait to see you all there as we ride for a great cause.

If you’re interested in donating, please use the link below. And if you’d like to help in other ways, there will be opportunities for that too.

Thank you for your support!

Training Update for the Bikeathon from Cincinnati to Columbus!

Today, our goal is to ride 25-30 miles as we prepare for the big day on November 2nd. Our mission remains the same: to send more kids to school. Every dollar counts, and even $5 gets us closer to our goal.

This cause is incredibly personal and close to my heart. If you are a friend or family member, please consider supporting us. I’m calling on all my friends to help me and my team make this a reality.

Together, we can make a difference. Let’s ride for education and a brighter future for these kids. Every mile we ride and every donation we receive will count.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an update on our bikeathon training. All is going well, and today our group of four managed to ride 20 miles. Everyone felt great!

We are reaching out to ask for your support. Any donation, even $5, makes a difference. Think of it as $5 less for an expensive meal, but a step towards helping send a child to school. If you know anyone who might be interested in donating, please share this message with them. If they need more information, they can reach out to me directly.

We are close to our goal of $5,000, and we need your help to get there.

On November 2nd, we’ll be riding our bikes from Cincinnati to Columbus—a 126-mile journey—to raise funds to send more kids to school in rural Zimbabwe. Our mission is to bridge the education gap, and we need your help to make it happen.

Even a small donation of $5 can make a big difference! Every mile counts, and your support will help us reach our goal. If you’re interested in riding with us, please let us know.

Donate and help us empower the next generation!

What am I? Who am I?As a Zimbabwean man, I proudly embrace my roots while also considering myself a global citizen. The African proverb “Ubuntu Umuntu, Ngumuntu Ngabantu” resonates deeply with me, encapsulating my belief that “I am a person through other people.” This profound saying speaks to the interconnectedness of humanity, highlighting that our identities and humanity are not solitary constructs but are intricately woven through our relationships with others. I find strength and purpose in this belief, as it reminds me of the importance of community, empathy, and understanding in shaping who I am. Through this lens, I navigate the world with a sense of unity, recognizing that our shared experiences and connections with others ultimately define our existence.

As another birthday passes, I find myself reflecting on the passage of time and the changes it brings. With each year, I grow older, yet my perspective on celebrating my birthday shifts. While many may see birthdays as a time for personal celebration and indulgence, I can't help but feel a greater calling.

As I journey through life, I've come to realize that my purpose extends beyond my own desires and aspirations. Instead, my heart is set on a mission to make a meaningful impact in communities that need it most. This year, my focus lies not on the festivities of my birthday, but on channeling that time and energy towards a cause that is bigger than myself.

My dream is to help build a self-sustainable school in Zimbabwe—a vision that ignites a fire within me. This dream, this mission, is not just a passing thought; it's a commitment engraved in my soul. I am determined to see it through, to contribute to a brighter future for those who deserve it.

While the journey ahead may seem daunting at times, my resolve remains unwavering. I know that this dream is within reach, but I also understand that I can't do it alone. That's why I'm reaching out to my community, to anyone who shares my passion for making a difference.

If you know of anyone who can lend their support—whether through resources, expertise, or connections—please don't hesitate to reach out to me privately. Together, let's turn this dream into a reality, one brick at a time.

Thank you for believing in me and for standing alongside me on this journey. Your support means more than words can express.

With gratitude,

Coach T

Dear Friends,

Our recent journey to Zimbabwe was nothing short of extraordinary. Departing on March 11th, we embarked on an adventure with 17 enthusiastic students from the Wellington School, accompanied by three dedicated chaperones: Joya, Shelley, and Pete. As we bid farewell to Zimbabwe just two days ago, I am filled with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the experiences we shared.

Our expedition began with high hopes and a sense of anticipation as we touched down in Zimbabwe. After settling into our lodge accommodations, we wasted no time immersing ourselves in the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes that awaited us.

The second day brought a wave of excitement as we embarked on our itinerary, which was brimming with unforgettable experiences. From exploring Petra College to encountering the magnificent white rhinos of Matobo National Park, every moment was filled with awe and wonder. The ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe and the majestic Victoria Falls left an indelible mark on our hearts.

Yet, it was the moments beyond our planned itinerary that truly enriched our journey. Visiting St. Lucy Primary School and donating much-needed supplies brought tears of joy and gratitude to our eyes. Additionally, our impromptu visit to Ngodzi Mine, a squatter camp, allowed us to make a meaningful impact by providing assistance to those in need.

One of the most poignant memories was our spontaneous soccer matches with local children in the streets. The joy and appreciation sparked by our donation of soccer balls reminded us of the profound impact small gestures can have on others. Witnessing the radiant smiles on the faces of those children will forever be etched in our memories.

Throughout our travels, our students demonstrated remarkable adaptability and curiosity, eagerly absorbing the richness of Zimbabwean culture and traditions.

As we bid farewell to Zimbabwe, I invite you to join us in supporting this beautiful country and its communities. If you feel compelled to contribute, please consider visiting www.mymotherland.org to learn more about how you can make a difference.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on this transformative journey. Until we meet again, may the spirit of Zimbabwe continue to inspire us all.

Warm regards,

Tonderai Tomu

Our journey to Zimbabwe with 17 amazing students from the Wellington School was an incredible success! From meeting inspiring students to giving back to the community, every moment was unforgettable. We were blessed to donate soccer uniforms, balls, shin guards, cleats, stationery, laptops, and clothes to those in need. The warm welcome we received, especially from St. Lucy, holds a special place in our hearts. We’re committed to continuing our support and working on new ways to uplift and empower this community. Together, we can make a difference!
