Hey all-

I just thought I'd put the word out about our cancer appeal. Five college students are myself are riding 4000 miles across America this summer from California to Maryland (we're currently in day 12 of 45). We are attempting to raise awareness and donations for cancer research at John Hopkins University. Our website sports entertaining daily blogging, GPS tracking of the riders, photos and journaling, as well as an online donation system and all that sort of thing.

Have a look at the website, and have a laugh and a cry and a sigh.

Cheers-

Jacob

From the mission statement:

This summer the Cross Country for Cancer team will be cycling across the North American continent from San Francisco to Baltimore to raise donations and awareness for cancer research. Money raised from our bike ride will benefit the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. We are a bunch of college students from the United States and England with a big idea and lack of any realistic sense of what is possible. This ride is going to be challenge, but we are going to get it done and we want your support. As we cycle across America in July and August, you can track our progress through pictures and experiences. So join us, spread the word, contribute, and together let’s make a difference in the fight against cancer!
