This summer I will be cycling from NY to LA over July and August and in defeating this colossal country hopefully raising pots of cash for the people of Haiti to get back on their feet. Mum and Dad will be back at home charting my progress on a specially customised Google Map I have created, called 'The Gentleman's Tour of America', which you can find here: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=114034270008828449544.00047d9d2bc5146e9ba5c&t=h&z=5

You will also be able to read about my exploits on a blog which i'll update every so often on the road. You can find it here: www.thegentlemanstourofamerica.tumblr.com

Being artistically inclined, I will be documenting the whole ride on video and stills so people supporting me can see how it's all going. Even though that might all sound like sunshine and lollipops, the real reason why it's important you support me is for the charity. Don't hesitate - donate now!
