Good Morning!!

After a night’s sleep, we’re awake and getting ready. The coffee is perking, the apple turnovers are…turning, and our eyes are a little foggy. But it’s all good.

We even woke up before the chorus of alarms sounded. We’ll be heading to city hall for 5:30am, where we’ll be doing a few pre-ride formalities, some of which will be on YouTube.

Weather is wet but not raining, cold but not freezing.

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.
