04 Aug

We have been hanging out in Fairbanks since Thursday night because the bike went in for a service at the Outpost (The BMW dealer in Fairbanks) on Friday, however, because they are so busy and it wasn’t possible to pre book a service slot, the earliest that I can get the bike back is Monday (5 August) lunchtime!

Fairbanks is the second largest city in Alaska however that doesn’t mean that there is much to do, in fact there would be nothing to do if it wasn’t for the fact that this is the week that the fair is in town so we opted to spend Saturday afternoon visiting the fair and it is in fact just how you see them in the movies!! The rest of our time here has been spent resting, exercising and watching movies on the hotel video system!

 
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.
