Americymru members Gareth Evans and Andy Edwards and a team of cyclists are riding across the continental US from southern California to the east coast of Florida to raise money for the Children's Hospital for Wales.They're ramping up fundraising and need all the help they can get: donations, places to stay on the way, people to put on fundraisers in the towns they'll be passing through - pub night, charity bar-b-cue, rugby match, battle of the bands, whatever you can think of! Their blog is here and has their route posted and more information on all this:http://walescoast2coastusa.blogspot.com/and the first entry reads:

We're a team of cyclists from the United Kingdom who will be cycling across the United States in March 2009, from the Pacific coast at Santa Monica, California, to the eastern Florida coast at St Augustine, to raise money for the Children's Children's Hospital of Wales , in March 2009.

This is the first and currently only children's hospital in Wales. All funds raised through this cross-continental challenge will be donated to the Noah's Ark Appeal , which was created to raise funds to make the Children's Hospital a reality, to provide a hospital dedicated to the care of children and the support of their families.

The members of our team are fathers, brothers, uncles and friends of the children in our lives and we're looking to raise 50,000 on our two-week ride across the southern US. We need help. We need people to pledge donations on our web site and we need people along our route to hold fundraising events to help us make this trip a success. We're also looking for a caravan or RV to use on the trip, to house the team and double as our medical station and places to sleep along the way.

Team members will track our adventure on this blog.

If you can, please make a donation, help us raise money along the way or at least follow along with us here and tell other people about us.
