Biking for the Boys & Girls Clubs

Background:
On August 24, 2014 I,Matt Byers ventured from Cedar Rapids, IA to Oceanside, CA on a bicycle. I rode through 7 states and two months later arrived in Oceanside. 
On August 24th, 2015, I will be biking to the beach again, this time heading east to Virginia Beach, VA. 

Goals:
Incorporate the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cedar Rapids into my journey across the United States. I will interact with the boys and girls at the Club through Face Time, Go-Pro, and Google Maps. This will virtually take the kids on the trip with me!
This experience will help the kids gain an understanding of:
-Geography
-Culture
-Landmarks
-Mathmatics
-Health and Fitness
-Use of Technology

Most importantly, kids will be able to see that Nothing is Impossible. If you truly desire to acheive something, focus your mind, and work hard, you can do Anything.

How you can Help:
I will be traveling 1,200 through 5 states, to arrive in Virginia. Along the way I will need 3 main components, which is what your donations will go towards: 
-Food
-Water
-Shelter

Anything raised beyond the cost of the trip will be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cedar Rapids!
