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.Donate
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.
Hi “Grandpa Arvid”,
Your daughter Stephanie stood up in church and told us about your biking trip. My whole church is praying for you. I’m sure you’ll get the world record. I want to go to the party at NKMB Church tomorrow to watch you finish. I’m sure all the children in the orphanage in Kenya are very happy about what you’re doing.
I’ll be praying for you again before I go to bed tonight. May God give you lots of courage and strength. I hope to meet you someday.
From Claire, age 8
I’m not sure at what point 540km on a bike is “almost there”, but according to the map, it sure looks like it’s almost there. We’re praying through to the end, Dad.
You are in our thoughts and prayers, Arvid! Keep up the great work!

still praying.
It is amazing how many people have been made aware of what you are doing.
I just finished an appointment with a client at work and asked him if he had heared of the 54 year old fellow that is cycling across Canada to raise money for an orphanage in Kanya? And he said yes, so I provided him with the website and he was very interested to go and view it.
I am amazed with the wide knowledge about this out there and even more with your performance.
I sneak a peak every chance I get and just feel very much a part of it with the so many others.
Our prayers are continuing. God creates wonders and blesses the believers.
Arvid – Remember that even if you do not break the WR your ride across Canada had a much higher purpose. Your ride has been a witness of what God can do if a man or woman is willing to step up for God. People, who do not have faith, have been caught up with your journey. People have heard the message about Charles Muelli and his awesome work he has been doing rebuilding the lives of children. So you will finish well no matter what because God has had His Hand in this and His will is & will be awesome. Take care Eleonore
Have to say ditto to Joy Klassen. You will finish well Arvid no matter what! Praying for Gods strength for your body and spirit!
Regardless of the time – Arvid is running the race with excellence! We are praying for you Arvid that you will “finish well” in Halifax – God is using you in a mighty mighty way – and we are standing in awe. We have been praying for you – and will continue! May God give you the strength – body, soul, mind and spirit!
You are in our thoughts and prayers,
Alvin and Joy Klassen
Keep up the pace! Vic, could you provide number of Kms left and number of hours left in your updates as we close in. We are all very excited to see this final race to the end.
