We have not forgotten the reason for our trip

We are now in the last country of Central America and will soon (hopefully) be crossing the Darien gap into Colombia, and towards our final goal of Brazil. The trip so far has been filled with amazing sights, people, and culture, more than we could have imagined! It has not been without its own challenges and hardships. Language, traffic, accidents, and the fatigue of riding so far for so long. Our trials however, are small compared to those of our service men and women. Those who have decided to serve and protect us endure much more difficult and enduring hardships not only overseas but on the home front as well. As a result of injuries received overseas, 7% of warriors are permanently housebound, an estimated 400,000 soldiers have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and a slightly lower number estimated with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs). This is the price of our protection and freedom. For those who have given so much for us it is only right to give back in any way we possibly can. Currently we have raised $1,350 out of our $100,000 goal through our Wounded Warrior donation page. We are immensely happy with the way the public has received us and are grateful for the donations to the Wounded Warrior Project and the service people who project our country and its freedom. We hope to keep spreading the cause and raising funds for our service people in need. If you are currently serving or have served previously, we would like to thank you for your sacrifices, it's people like you who make this country great.
