Current ride stats are as follows.
5363km covered of the 6040km as of 9:07am AT.
Total ride time stands at: 11hr 22min 07sec
That puts Arvid at 1min behind World Record pace.
This will be a dramatic final 677km as Arvid rides into Fredericton, through Moncton on his way to Halifax City Hall.
He needs to arrive before Thursday, July 14, 9:06pm AT to break the current Guinness World Record.
Stay tuned…
When I open the comment and see all the encouragement and “GO ARVID GO” I honestly feel that I am standing at the finish line and shout with the rest “GO ARVID GO” and join in the praises and cheers that are already there and will get lauder as you finish.
Keep it up my brother and as we all continue to pray: “God be with you every last paddle of the way”
Hi Arvid! Hello Crew! HUGE greetings, Charles Mulli!! I’ve never sat in front of a computer so much as this last week, clicking “refresh” MANY times a day! WOW, Our prayers, our excitement, out thoughts are with you! May God amaze you with strength, endurance, guidance and joy the rest of the stretch. I can tear up so easily just thinking about all you’ve done and all you’re doing. “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace.”
thank you for that comprehensive update. we need this every few hours as we are checking almost constantly. It is nerve wracking not knowing the exact detail. Yes, it is more work for the crew but we are all part of the crew in the stands, waiting, watching and hoping with prayers thrown in.
Arvid, with those bad hips you are a miracle man and I suggest that your next sport is windsurfing. You and i will sail across lake winnipeg to raise some dollars for the Mulli family. Seriously. herb
Great update! We keep praying as Arvid keeps pedaling. Keep thinking of all those children back in Kenya who need our support and prayers! Go Arvid Go!!
A non-NKMB friend just posted one of the MCF videos on her FB page and I just had to watch it again. It reminded me once again in a very real way what this ride is all about – those beautiful children who are so proud to be part of a real family. I’m praying God will give you a supernatural strength to beat the record and make Frank sign that cheque!!!!
Ethan asks about Niko’s grandpa and Uncle Arvid everyday and loves watching the updates. We are praying for you daily. You got this!! “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31
An incredible ride throughout the nite Arvid – great times!Keep it up “Steel Man”.
Great that you are safe and moving well.
The Lord will carry you on His shoulders with a host of Angels to the finish line.
Are you keeping this close just for the suspense – cause if you are, you are suceeding!
GO Arvid GO! The aroma of the Atlantic is just around the bend!
Smell it yet?
Go Arvid! This is amazing and we look forward to celebrating with you at the NKMB in the Park event. As has been mentioned, you have taught us a lot. What an awesome example to the kids at MCF, your grandsons and all of us. You can do this! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Arvid, these stats are amazing. And it is so much like God to keep us in suspense so that we would give HIM all the glory. “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” Go with God, Arvid!!!
God’s blessings! We are keeping up to date and praying for you!
Good job crew – keep up the great work.
“go grandpa go” from one grandpa to the other!!!
…more pictures please….
Wow. I’m in tears right now. What an amazing journey for all of us that are following him. Beside the goal of caring for the kids in Kenya, he has done so much more, in taking all of us “along” and teaching us strength, trust in GOD and to expect miracles in whichever obstacle that life throws at us. GO ARVID GO. What a great day NKMB in the park will be. God is good. Hi to the wonderful crew that is seeing him through this journey.
Go, Arvid, Go!! I’m sure it’s not the first time this verse has been quoted to you, Arvid, but be encouraged…you are remembered and prayed for.
Press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called you heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Your prize is not necessarily winning the Record, nor the amount of money raised for the Mully Children….it is however, the blessing of God poured out on you as you sacrifice your whole body to please Him. May God continue to renew your strength as you soar towards the goal!!

About MCF
Charles Mulli is a former street child from the slums of Kenya. He became extremely successful in business, but then God called him to give it all up and care for the orphaned and abandoned children still on the streets in Kenya. Charles Mulli is the founder and CEO of Mully Children's Family. To learn more about MCF, click here.
Arvid's Role
God has called me (Arvid) to be an ambassador for Mully Children's Family. I have chosen to use ultramarathon cycling as my platform from which to fulfill this calling. You can follow my ride, here, at www.grandpascan.com/ride. To read more about me and my story, click here.
I am asking you to help. I am trying to raise funds for the ongoing and capital expenses for the child mothers program at MCF. This program provides the critical life skills the young mothers need. To learn more about donating, click here.
