THANK YOU!

First and foremost, I want to thank every single person who donated to help us raise money for Ben's Bells and Cool Earth! We are so grateful.  It was amazing to hear from long lost friends, and complete strangers who supported us.

If you have not donated and are moved to do so, please follow this link:

 Or you can send me a message and I will send you my address where you can mail a check.

Mike and I physically took this journey, but it would never have been possible without so many of you:

To the angels that protected us as we safely made our journey. Mom, Grandpa Niccum, Grandpa Dougherty, and Uncle Ron - thank you. 

To our families. You supported this endeavor from day one. You may have questioned our sanity, but your love and faith never waned! We thought of you frequently. We are so incredibly blessed.

To my mom and brother. Thank you for stepping in and up. Because of you I only thought about work 100 times per day instead of 100,000.

To my amazing team: Martha, Juan, Alex and Amanda. Thank you for putting a little more on your plate. I couldn't think of a better group to entrust.

To Andrea, Kay, and Liam. Our Australian saviors. Your companionship was a life saver and made this adventure complete. I hope our paths cross again soon! 

To The Adventurists. For concocting this crazy journey and forcing us to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Pain is temporary, these memories will last a lifetime.

To the people of India. Your kindness and open spirit is invigorating and (at times) overwhelming. We have been moved by your spirit.  

To Patricia. Your faithful reading and comments on my blogs and videos made my stories feel valuable - you motivated me! 

To Megan. Thank you for watching and caring for our fur babies. We are so comforted knowing you are there with them.

To Melanie. R&F works. I had no issues the entire trip, and was able to confidently take hundreds of make up free pictures over the last three weeks. 

To Pepto-Bismal. I don't know what more I can say other than thank God we brought you along.

To everyone who is reading this and followed our journey. Thank you for being a part of our lives, for supporting us and for spreading kindness. 

As we begin our 37 hour journey back stateside, this chapter may be ending but the adventure never does. ❤️ ~ Mike and Kira
