In the Summer of 2016, I'm going to get on a  bike I don't yet own and ride it across America, on a route I have yet to plan. I have ideas and dreams about where and what I'll be and do. I have a lot of experience traveling across this country, but not in this way. Much of this is still tentative, but two things are certain:

1. This is a ride in the spirit of charity. I will be raising money for Alzheimer's and Dementia research before and during the ride. It's a cause that I have deep personal feelings about and familial connections with, and it needs attention.

2. I would like your help. I am asking for your help so I can build a safety net as I take this endeavor on. I will be funding the day to day expenses on my own as much as possible, so I can donate the balance once I reach the Pacific.
