the Here to Here World Tour
benefiting Street Kids International
What are you doing this summer?
If you are brothers C.J. and Dylan Wilkins, you are riding motorcycles – all the way around the world!
The Here to Here World Tour benefiting Street Kids International is the dramatic journey of two brothers traveling more than 30,000 kilometres around the world on two Buell motorcycles.
Starting in Calgary, Alberta on May 10, 2008, the tour will take four months to complete and will involve a complete circumnavigation of the globe.
The brothers will ride through more than 20 countries ranging from the dizzying heights of the Rockies and Altai Mountains to the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and endless forests of Far Eastern Russia.
Why ride so far through such demanding conditions? The brothers, who grew up in a low-income, single-parent home, want to raise awareness and funds for Street Kids International.
"Growing up, Dylan and I had only the opportunities we created for ourselves," said, C.J. "We love that Street Kids International empowers youth to improve their own lives. It is a hand-up, not a hand-out way of getting involved."
You can get involved by visiting the Here to Here website, and donating to Street Kids International.
