Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 Sean is in ICU in Baton Rouge now. Although hospital is larger with more specialist staff it is a bit less personal with a less modern feel about the ward than the previous. Even for Caroline visiting is restrict to 3 x 30 min visits a day. Best place for him though, first operation later. James will be on Central News on Thursday evening we think, promoting the website and cause. If anyone has any ideas to raise more money and/or awareness our ears are open. His laptop is withRead More.... Tags: central news, hospital, james, sean, update

Facebook in order to keep you updated here...
I have just spoken to Dr Ellander an Orthapaedic surgeon working on Sean who was unsuccesful last night in removing the ball end of the femur out of the pelvic bone area. Going to put him under a general anaesthetic and manipulate it from outside the body now to where it needs to be. Seans spine has a "burst fracture" atRead More....Tags: james, sean, surgery, update

Finding something decent to eat is difficult, our map told us there would be no services for 60 miles, so I stocked up with some junk food. We followed the US 90 and immediately had a headwind again, not good. Then the rain started, this time it was heavy rain and we were soaked.

Friday, June 25th, 2010 I didn’t get to bed until gone midnight so when my alarm went off at 5am I was still very tired. We were ready to go at 6am, however found that the tyres ( tires) on both bikes were flat. They were not punctured; they probably just felt a bit like us, “deflated” Lol, seriously, I guess it must have been the heat?

Sunday, June 13th, 2010 Apart from the football result, it was a great night at the Dirty Duck. The pub was packed and there was a queue up the street to get in, everyone coming to attend the Indie Shindig and support CycleAcrossAmercia2010.com.
John (the Landlord) very kindly allowed the £2 entrance fee to go towards our fundraising and we raised over £814 on the door and another £50 from the sale of burgers. So a total of £864!
Thank you to everyone who attended and gave so generously and wished us we
