Introduction

Luke Mathews and Adam Hume Intend on cycling the 3.300mile route unsupported from San Diego, West Coast to New York City, East Coast to raise money for the charity Help for Heroes. In addition to raising money for Help for Heroes they will raising funds for Wounded Warrior Project as they go. WWP is an American charity with similar goals as Help for Heroes in the UK.





The Journey
On the 18th of March Luke and Adam decided to partake in a few social beers….several hours later the previously only loosely mentioned concept of a mammoth cycle ride across the land mass that is North America seemed very enticing. The following morning the ambitious idea had lost none of its appeal and the scribbled notes found on Adam’s coffee table were to be the seeds of their epic journey.


The problem…

The window of opportunity was rapidly closing and the ride had to be undertaken between mid June and September. This left them with no more than 3 months to plan and execute the mission, whilst attempting to raise a whopping £5,000.
