A Day of Rest in Milford

Mike took the entire day off on Sunday. It was a day of luxury for Mike, as Glenda Neff, daughter of Deane Tennant, who hosted Mike in Falmouth, Ky., put Mike up in a Milford bed and breakfast, where he spent some time hanging out in the hot tub, soaking his tired muscles.



He attended services at Withamsville Church of Christ and had the opportunity to speak to the congregation about his bike ride and the goal behind it. Before he left, the church had taken a collection to benefit diversity scholarships at Lipscomb University.



Lipscomb is making a strong effort to make a college education more accessible to student population that have traditionally been underserved. The university has established programs to provide additional scholarships to community college grads, discounts for military veterans and scholarships for Hispanic students. Mike Smith’s Underground Railroad Bike Tour Diversity Scholarship Fund is just one of the many ways Lipscomb is trying to bring Christian education to more students. So far, through Mike’s efforts and commitment to his ride, Lipscomb has raised $6,411 to benefit diversity scholarships.
