NY-2-LA's fundraising page
Hi Guys,
We are taking on an epic journey of over 3000 miles, cycling from New York to LA, in just 3 weeks! All in order to raise £20,000 for the charity Zamcog (http://www.zamcog.org.uk/). Zamcog runs the Shitima school in Kabwe, Zambia. The school provides education, shelter and daily meals to orphans, former street kids and other vulnerable children who would otherwise live in great deprivation. An incredibly noble cause.
We are trying to cycle from Central Park in New York to Venice Beach Los Angeles, a distance of over 3000 miles in just three weeks. The Tour de France takes three weeks and only travels a distance of 2000 miles! We’re going to be going over 150 miles a day through 12 states and 4 time zones and all that in average temperatures of over 25oC, its going to be tough!
So please sponsor us as much as you can in our epic challenge, and please remember Gift Aid.
Hamish & James
