So, we’re hitting the road in a giant bus, capturing this historic journey.  Pepsi is giving away over a million bucks a month and it all comes down to your votes…you vote, they give and we show up!  Well, we can’t be everywhere, but we’re gonna try to pick some of the most inspiring grant recepients to give you a sense of how big this Refresh Project is and how massive our road trip will be.  Our first Pepsi grant receipient is Sharif, 21 and this is what he’s spending his 5,000 grant on… taking a massive cross country bike trip and helping build affordable houses for families in need.  30 people are joining Sharif and an organization, Bike and Build, rolling into small towns and big cities from Virginia Beach, VA to Canon Beach OR to raise awareness about the affordable housing crisis in this country…oh and along this crazy bike trail, they’ll be picking up hammers and laying down roofs to actually build as they travel along.  Just your average college summer…..!  Take a look at this fantastic journey and I’ll see you on the road!

Here’s a map of their trip. All on bikes! Nuts.
