400 mile adventure bike riderom Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean

ALONG THE WAY our riders will have the unique opportunity to interact

directly with Tanzanians benetting from TFFT. These interactions will

provide an arena for dialogue regarding some of the largest hurdles

faced by impoverished communities, such as lack of basic amenities,

education, and malnutrition. While on the route participants will stay in

tented camps and lodges each night in the wilderness, exposed to the

raw conditions of East Africa. Not only will our riders be raising funds

for an extraordinarily good cause, they will be traveling a path few havecompleted in its entirety. It is such a rarely used trail that many wild

animals still call it home.

This will not be your average day in the park, it will be physically and

mentally grueling, however, the satisfaction and accomplishment our

riders will leave with will last a lifetime and be a catalyst to inspire others

to work towards making high quality education universally accessible.

This is an inspirational ride for those looking to experience the true

beat of Tanzania, traveling through some of the most remote villages.

Our riders will be able to use their words and inuence to help ourchildren. Our riders will leave Tanzania enlightened and equipped to act

as ambassadors for not only TFFT, but also the children of Tanzania, and

the future that a quality education can provide.

RIDE FOR A CAUSE: JUNE 8-19, 2012

In June 2012 a group limited to 20 adventure seekers will travel to Tanzania

to participate in a historic 400-mile bike ride to raise awareness and

funds for The Foundation For Tomorrow. In an experience that will blend

education, history, and cultural awareness, we will travel a route that has

an infamous place in history, in an attempt to work together to break

the cycle of poverty that so aficts this country by providing QUALITY

education to those in most need.

The Foundation For Tomorrow (TFFT) intends to garner support through

a donor bike ride across Tanzania from Mount Kilimanjaro to the Indian

Ocean following a 19th century slave trade and early explorers route.

This is a stunningly diverse adventure tracing the foothills of Mount

Kilimanjaro down the slave routes, into the ancient Usambara Mountains

and nally to the coastal town of Pangani, the gateway to the ancient

routes. This challenge will test the riders physical limits as well as give

each rider a rst hand experience of TFFTs work and how education can

directly benet Tanzanian communities.
