[edit] Mark Across America
On May 6, 2007, Mark began bicycling from California to Maine planning to stop along the way 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.
Mark's inspiration to make this 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. 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 difference. He made a decision to reach out to orphans through active support of The James Fund.
