ALONG THE WAY

our riders will have the unique opportunity to interact directly with Tanzanians benefitting from TFFT. These interactions will provide an arena for dialogue regarding some of the largest hurdles faced by impoverished communities, such as lack of basic amenities, education, and malnutrition. While on the route participants will stay in tented camps and lodges each night in the wilderness, exposed to the raw conditions of East Africa. Not only will our riders be raising funds for an extraordinarily good cause, they will be traveling a path few have completed in its entirety. It is such a rarely used trail that many wild animals still call it home. This will not be your average day in the park, it will be physically and mentally grueling, however, the satisfaction and accomplishment our riders will leave with will last a lifetime and be a catalyst to inspire others to work towards making high quality education universally accessible. This is an inspirational ride for those looking to experience the true beat of Tanzania, traveling through some of the most remote villages. Our riders will be able to use their words and influence to help our children. Our riders will leave Tanzania enlightened and equipped to act as ambassadors for not only TFFT, but also the children of Tanzania, and the future that a quality education can provide.

RIDE FOR A CAUSE: JUNE 8-19, 2012 In June 2012 a group limited to 20 adventure seekers will travel to Tanzania to participate in a historic 400-mile bike ride to raise awareness and funds for The Foundation For Tomorrow. In an experience that will blend education, history, and cultural awareness, we will travel a route that has an infamous place in history, in an attempt to work together to break the cycle of poverty that so afflicts this country by providing QUALITY education to those in most need. The Foundation For Tomorrow (TFFT) intends to garner support through a donor bike ride across Tanzania from Mount Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean following a 19th century slave trade and early explorers route. This is a stunningly diverse adventure tracing the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro down the slave routes, into the ancient Usambara Mountains and finally to the coastal town of Pangani, the gateway to the ancient routes. This challenge will test the riders physical limits as well as give each rider a first hand experience of TFFTs work and how education can directly benefit Tanzanian communities.
