Mark Schultz to cycle across America to raise money for orphans and widows
PLATINUM selling CCM star Mark Schultz will embark on an Across
America bike ride to raise support for orphans and widows. From 6th
May through early July, Schultz will bicycle from California to New
Hampshire stopping along the way to perform concerts featuring music
from his acclaimed, best-selling album, 'Broken & Beautiful' (Word
Records). Schultz's inspiration to make the 3,500-mile trek came from
a visit he and his wife, Kate, made to orphanages in Mexico. In the
spring of 2006, they went on a mission trip with The James Fund, a
non-profit organization founded by Family Christian Stores, to meet
the needs of orphans and widows in distress. Schultz's own adoption
drew him to explore this ministry. Seeing firsthand the harsh
realities for many orphans and realising that he could have easily
been one of the boys in the orphanage, he wanted to make a difference.
