Passing this on from my friend/colleague at Adventure Cycling. I offered to organize a greeting/escort/celebration/support group when they come through Madison. It looks like they may be through here around July 8 (if I am reading their route correctly.)
Obviously, they would love to have donations and/or more followers on Facebook. Links below.

Read my blog for more information: http://blog.adventurecycling.org/2012/04/family-circles-planning-cross-country.html . He and his best friend Drew are doing this for their senior projects and to raise money and awareness about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The are riding in honor of Cory Stalling a young man from Missoula, MT and a friend of ours. I am writing you to ask a couple favors. Here they are: 1) Please take a moment and check out their website: http://bikestory4cory.blogspot.com/ and/or "like" their page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ABikeStoryForCory 2) Please share their story with your own friends and family - I ask this with two thoughts in mind - - Keeping them safe while they are on the road - you may live in one of the states and/or cities they will be traveling through. It would sure be great to have someone checking in on them as they travel across this big country! - Helping the cause - we need a raise money to find a cure for DMD and help children like Cory have quality lives. Please consider helping spread the word - a small donation of even $10 will make a big difference. People can donate to their website <http://bikestory4cory.blogspot.com/> or to the JettRide <http://jettride.jettfoundation.org/> (a donation to the Jett Foundation is tax deductible). You will find links to both Mac Sullivan and Drew Gottman's fundraising pages here: http://jettride.jettfoundation.org/team/ So there you have it. This is an exciting and daunting adventure. Both the Gottman family and our family have decided it is the chance of a lifetime for our sons - but it doesn't come without a lot of nerves. We're doing everything we can to ensure the boys trip is amazing and safe and that they do their best to represent Cory and the effort to fight DMD.
