Mark Across America
 |
On May 6, 2007, Mark Schultz began bicycling from California to Maine planning to stop along the way only to perform concerts and participate in special events. Official Mark Across America Website. Originally scheduled to end in New Hampshire, the tour ended on July 8, 2007 in Bangor, Maine. It was a successful trip.
Mark's inspiration to make this 3,500-mile (5,600 km) trek came from a visit he and his wife, Kate Schultz, made to orphanages in Mexico. While in the spring of 2006, they went on a mission trip with The James Fund, which is a non-profit organization founded by Family Christian Stores. The purpose of this trip was to meet the needs of orphans and widows in distress. Mark's own adoption drew him to explore this ministry. Seeing firsthand the harsh realities for many orphans and realizing that he could have easily been one of the boys in the orphanage, Mark wanted to make a big difference. He made a decision to reach out to orphans through active support of The James Fund.
