TOGETHER WE MADE A DIFFERENCE

This special post is dedicated to everyone who took part in the success of the O.M.E.H. Bike Tour.

Dear Friends and Family,

.

A year has passed since I was navigating my way across this great nation, from coast-to-coast, on my bicycle. This simply could not have been done without your generosity and support. I would like to thank everyone who contributed their valuable time and money towards this larger than life endeavor. Thank you for your donation to the O.M.E.H. Bike Tour and for supporting my mission.

.

The O.M.E.H. Bike Tour began in Sandy Hook, New Jersey when I dipped my back tire in the Atlantic Ocean. The journey concluded 3,147 miles, 48 days, 12 states, and 8 flat tires later in Huntington Beach, California when I dipped my front tire in the Pacific Ocean, thus culminating a coast-to-coast bike ride. I met and visited with the most fascinating people from the east coast and midwest, across the great plains and southwest, and through my hometown on the west coast. The experiences I had along this incredible journey provided me with the opportunity to raise awareness for the Ordinary Men and Women who have answered the call to serve, and our Extraordinary Heroes who selflessly gave their lives for the betterment of a greater cause…Freedom.

.

I will be donating 100% of the proceeds from the O.M.E.H. Bike Tour to the Freedom Alliance. Tomorrow I have the great honor of sending a check, in the amount of $1,138.63, to benefit the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund (www.FreedomAlliance.org/scholarship.htm), which honors the sacrifices made by America's Extraordinary Heroes by providing educational scholarships to their children.

.

Additionally, I have been invited to speak to children throughout the Boise School District about my journey from coast-to-coast, the American flag, and our Extraordinary American Heroes. Speaking at schools not only fulfils the mission of O.M.E.H., but also is the most gratifying service I have been able to perform.

.

Again, thank you for your generous donations and priceless support. Together, we did it. Together, we made a difference.

Semper Fidelis,

Chip Schultz
