Unitron UK’s regional manager Leon Cox is tackling a gruelling 3000 mile coast to coast bike ride from Los Angeles to New York in aid of the audiology department of Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.
Leon aims to pedal around 150 miles a day over a month, with a few rest days in between. He will take in a very diverse terrain and many states, including California, Arizona, Kansas, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New Jersey before finishing in New York City.
Leon is going solo, without the help of a support vehicle, working out his own navigation himself, and combining camping and motel accommodation, and doing a lot of his own camping.
Leon started his epic journey on 30th April and you can keep track of his journey across America by following the Unitron twitter feed @unitron_hearing
Leon is hoping to raise £5000, you can sponsor him (and it would seem churlish not to!) by visiting his JustGiving webpage at http://www.justgiving.com/leoncox-lax2nyc
