Calling Any and All AmeriCymru Members or Welsh Persons in the Great State of Florida!
AmeriCymru members Andy Edwards and Gareth Evans are part of a cycling team that is doing a cross-continental bicycle challenge across the southern USA to raise money for the Children's Hospital for Wales.From their blog :"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."They'll be cycling from Oceanside, California to Saint Augustine Beach, Florida and you can see their whole planned route HERE on their blog . They're shooting to arrive in Florida on or about 03 April 2009. You can see Gareth Evans AmeriCymru interview HERE .They're taking donations in support of their challenge on their site HERE or go straight to justgiving.com to sponsor them.They have offers of places to stay and events, both fundraisers and just for fun, being put on for them in cities along their route but nothing at the end of the route in Florida! If you're in Florida, you're able or willing to be there for the big finish and you could put on the dog for these guys or plan an event or just welcome them to town for a beer, contact them and set it up.Please show these good and crazy boys some well-deserved, American hospitality!
