We spent the day in Salt Lake city whilst the bike got tyres and brakes changed so we had an opportunity to look around and see the sights. We caught the red bus around the city which gave us a great insight into the history and beautiful architecture and monuments.

The Mormon temple…

The city is largely made up of Mormons, (which are not the same as Amish) however, having many children is a pastime as it is not uncommon to find families with 7 to 10 children. Salt lake city was a great place to spend 2 nights though because its a large city with a small town feel so we got in a movie and a couple of great restaurants!

Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
