Nothing But Sweat

For World Malaria Day, a group of UMC members thought they would show their support for Nothing But Nets by biking for 238 miles!  The group started the four-day bike ride in Montgomery, TX and concluded in Ft. Worth, TX.  View the map of their ride! Several churches along the route opened their doors to cyclists, providing them with food and a place to sleep.  The ride ended on April 23rd, marking the first day of General Conference, a gathering of United Methodists from all over the world.

The bikers originally set a fund-raising goal of $100,000.  After nearly 240 miles, hundreds of individuals contacted for donations, and untold man hours of effort, the Nothing But Sweat bike riders raised $156,144.00!  Check out the Nothing But Sweat blog if you’d like to see more pictures from the event, and congratulations to everyone!
