Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. On June 13th this year, Kevin Smith & Tim Green will be setting off on the longest and toughest adventure of their lives. 

THE CHALLENGE? To cycle the Pacific Coast from Canada to Mexico in just 21 days.

At 55 and 49 respectively (Tim will 'celebrate' his 50th birthday en route), these two slightly portly, middle-aged blokes have set their minds on the task ahead and are currently in serious training to ensure they're in peak condition to complete the challenge. Their remarkable 2,000 mile journey begins in Vancouver and takes them down through Washington State, into Oregon and then California before finally crossing the border into Mexico. They'll pass through Astoria, Eureka, San Francisco, Monterey, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego but won't have a moment to spare for sight seeing, surfing, shopping or shark fishing: they will simply put their heads down and cycle their socks off until they reach Tijuana.

THE REASON? Kevin and Tim are raising money for the outstanding charity O2e - Ordinary to Extraordinary. By encouraging and supporting the 'ordinary' person to step outside their comfort zone and achieve something unachievable, O2e has raised literally hundreds of thousands of pounds to make a difference to the lives of needy, serious and terminally ill children. Get Kids Going is a national charity and just one of the many organisations that O2e support and their focus is to help and encourage disabled children into athletics; they have helped many young people turn their dreams into reality and enabled them to be the sporting heroes they've always dreamed of becoming. These include Wheelchair Racing David Weir and Visually Impaired Skiers Kelly Gallagher and Charlotte Evans who all won gold in the 2013/14 Paralympics.

This trip is self-funded; all travelling and personal expenses will be paid by Kevin and Tim so every penny raised will go straight to O2e and all their 2014 nominated charities; Gets Kids Going, The Sparkle Appeal, Southview School and Ready Freddie Go! - for more information on all of these, please visit www.o2e.org

Kevin and Tim are definitely stepping out of their comfort zones for this one - please help them reach their target and make this a truly momentous challenge. Thank you so much for your support.
