Pedal or Peace?

What about Pedal for Peace? Sometimes I forget that it's ok if my Boatman Geller life and personal life overlap. They sort of merge in my daily life... so why not really throw it out there? A friend of mine, Maryjane Behforouz,  started an incredible event in Indianapolis last year - Pedal for Peace - that "supports organizations throughout the world that are committed to peace through education, especially for girls and women."

Money raised this year at the October 2nd event will be split between Greg Mortenson's Central Asia Institute {author of Three Cups of Tea} and A.W.A.K.E.N. {Afghan Women’s And Kids’ Education & Necessities}

Even after all our hard work this year, and with the event just around the corner, I still felt like I should do more. That's when I decided to throw caution to the wind and reach out to our wonderful BG followers and give them a gift if they would be generous enough to make a donation.

A little goes a long way for these young girls and women. Thank you for your consideration!
Peace,
Jane
