The Earth Expedition: (In Search of Support Vehicle and Team)
Hello Friends!
I can't believe that Daren leaves again in November to finish the United States leg of The Earth Expedition. The break has gone extremely fast! We are very pleased as the speaking engagements have been very effective in making a difference in Africa when it comes to providing water for our friends over there. We are also very excited about our latest addition to the Earth Expedition Team, Bryan Schlackman, a Texas native and marathon runner who will be joining the team as the first "European Walker". We will be spotlighting Bryan in our next newsletter.
The reason I am writing you today is because we are in search of a support vehicle and team that would accompany Daren across The United States. There are a few reasons for this. Safety is our number one concern as Daren will be walking the roads in very desolate places of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. A support vehicle and team member would provide a place to stay each night or transportation to a place to stay and set up his tent. The second purpose of a support team member is to be a "herald" in the towns that Daren would be walking through. This person would not only be planning and executing the logistics of the trip itself, but assisting our media relations team as an on-site coordinator with setup of speaking engagements, news stories, and larger community events.
Daren plans on averaging 25 miles a day for the trek from San Diego, CA to Dahlonega, GA where he started in March (roughly 5 months) . This would connect the 5,400 mile section from San Diego, CA to Maine.
If you or someone you know would be interested in this opportunity or if you have a vehicle you would be willing to donate to this mission, then please contact me by clicking on my e-mail address Amie@theearthexpedition.com .
Needs:
·Support Vehicle
·Team Member who can commit for 5 months
Thank you for your continued prayers and support! This dream is rapidly growing into a very beautiful and promising response to a very pressing need in Africa and we are so grateful for all of your help. God bless!
Sincerely,
Amie Hadaway
