Important facts about the need for turkey donations:

Idaho is ranked the 8th hungriest state by the USDA

The Idaho Foodbank distributed 5.6 million pounds of food last year, including 12,986 turkeys and hams during the 2005 holidays.

The expected turkey demand from the agencies we serve is 13,000 frozen turkeys and hams.

Turkeys and hams will be distributed at no charge to the 200 non-profit front-line agencies who will distribute them through food boxes or will prepare and serve the holiday meats to those in need.

Meet the Legendary Dave Barr

Traveling around the world is a huge accomplishment, but only the beginning of Dave Barr�s incredible story. His solo motorcycle journey took three and a half years to complete and spanned six continents and 83,000 miles. What makes it truly remarkable is that Dave made the trip on a 1972 Harley-Davidson® motorcycle with two prosthetic legs, the result of an 1981 land mine explosion. He pushed his way through the Sahara, Namibia, and Gobi deserts, slipped through the Andes during avalanche season and braved the unique challenges of riding across China, Russia, Australia, and Africa. Dave later went on to establish a Guinness Book World Record for crossing northern Europe, Russia and Siberia on a motorcycle in the dead of winter.

Dave uses his experiences to tell story after touching story. His life lessons will enrich and empower you as he shares how he brought his vision to life by setting goals, staying focused, and overcoming obstacles.

Dave Barr will be in the Treasure Valley

More on Dave Barr...

While serving in the South African army in Angola, Barr�s unarmored vehicle rolled over an anti-tank mine and exploded. He spent nine months in a Pretoria military hospital, undergoing 20 operations, including four to remove his legs in stages, skin grafts, and agonizing physical therapy to learn to walk again. When he was released from the hospital, Barr volunteered to go back to the combat zone where he�d nearly been killed to finish his enlistment on prosthetic legs.

Barr mustered out in December 1982 and returned to his family home in West Covina, California. He took his 1972 Harley-Davidson Super Glide out of storage and refit it to accommodate his prosthetics. He added an electric starter and an overload spring to the brake pedal so he could ride with his artificial right foot resting on it. On his first ride, a casual thought occurred to him, and it put his life on a new course that would take him around the world and to some of its most extreme and challenging environments.

He described it this way in his first book, Riding the Edge: �Wouldn�t it be something to share this simple accomplishment of riding a motorcycle as a double amputee with disabled people the world over? Perhaps I could be a role model for those people who might someday suffer the loss of good health.�

Seven years later, he piloted the Super Glide out of Johannesburg, South Africa, on a 9,000-mile transcontinental ride to raise funds for the Leonard Cheshire Foundation, an international charity that assists disabled people. In September 1990, nine months after completing the African ride, Barr again left Johannesburg on the 18-year-old shovelhead, turned north and kept going. Riding six of the world�s continents�he couldn�t find a way to get the bike to Antarctica�Barr logged 83,000 miles through the world�s most dangerous and unforgiving regions during the 3�-year trip.
