Other Ways To Help

Not just us. There are others who have come across our paths who deserve your support as well.

Kyle co-wrote two other books during the summer of 2009. One was called I Don't Mind Hitting Bottom, I Just Hate Dragging, the inspiring comeback story of Coach Tony Ingle. You can order it in paperback direct from the publisher here. The other is Sole Purpose: Shoes of Hope from the Feet of a Samaritan by Samaritan's Feet founder Emmanuel "Manny" Ohonme. That's also available!

You can still get the Season 6 t-shirt.

The "Bally Revolution" tee was designed by Threadless legend, Made With Awesome co-founder and long-time TMM co-conspirator Roni Lagin. It's available in men's and women's sizes at Spreadshirt.com for $23.00. All proceeds of the Season 6 t-shirt will benefit the Peru Children's Charity, which works to improve the lives of youngsters in a country with one of the most shocking income disparities in the developed world -- 51% of the nation's wealth is distributed to the top 20%, and the average annual income nationwide is around $2,500 US. (That's one thick Red Line.) All profits from the Mid-Merchandise Store during the season will be donated to PCC as well. Buy it here.
