I was wondering if somebody can help me with this process. I'm not sure how to attach my name and contact information if I donate a bike. I want to include my wife's name as well and seem to be struggling with the whole process. Thank you.
I think this is a wonderful organization.

News from Dan! He and Jared just completed a bike ride with the kids at Palm Tree in Cambodia:
"What can I say? It was one of the best rides ever, and one of the
coolest, joy-based philanthropic efforts 88bikes has done so
far. Jared and I biked 55 km, from a rural farm in the middle of
absolutely nowhere, all the way to... the ocean. Many of the
kids--grinning and laughing ALL THE WAY!--also biked the entire
distance!
We rolled in at sunset. It could not have been more beautiful, fun, grueling, idyllic. 30
orphans completed at least part of the ride. They were just bounding
with enthusiasm to begin, and biking like mini Lance Armstrongs at the
end! It was incredible!"

Karen Jayne Dodge What a wonderful way to open up a child's world! My son was adopted from Russia; I think this would be a great way to celebrate his 12th Adoption Day this spring. Thank you.
