Supporters

Our trip would not be possible without the support of our friends and family, as well as new friends that we meet and make along the way.  We are also fortunate to have support from organizational sponsors who are helping us spread the word about cycling as we travel across the country.

Finally we are grateful for financial support from donations to our PayPal account.  We will be sending postcards from places we visit to everyone who donates. If you have a different address than the one that PayPal list that we should send the card to please mention it as a comment when you donate.

Special thanks:
During our trip we will have a mix of camping and staying with friends, family, and people we meet along the way.  We want to offer special thanks to the following people who have generously hosted us at their homes.  We'll be updating this list as we continue along our trip.  For those people who we found through warmshowers.org we have included a link to their profile page.
