I'm Biking Across the Country!

Hi. I’m Harold Kamins. On May 8, 2010, I’ll get on my bike in Los Angeles. Hopefully, on June 26, I’ll arrive in Boston, having ridden the route you see above. 3415 miles, or about 1,200,000 revolutions of the pedals. One major reason to do this is to support the Achievement First Bridgeport Academy Middle School – a charter school in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

If you know me, you know that quality education for children is something I’ve invested a lot of time and effort in, including work with:

• A Better Chance of Westport
• The Charter Oak Challenge Foundation
• Staples Tuition Grants
• Connecticut Association for the Gifted

The Achievement First Bridgeport Academy Middle School is making a real difference in the lives of its students, giving them access to an education otherwise unavailable. Take a few minutes and read about the school, Achievement First, and the sad state of education for underserved kids in Connecticut. Please consider helping out with a contribution.
