For spring break, instead of vacationing in Cancun or Florida, two college students, Jimmy and Mike are biking 600 miles in 6 days. Why? To raise money for charity, specifically the Crisis Pregnancy Center, an organization in Champaign, IL, that provides counseling, aid, and support to pregnant mothers who find themselves in difficult circumstances.

The pair set off today from Carbondale, in southern Illinois, and over the next six days, will traverse across the state through the greater St. Louis area, Springfield, Charleston, Champaign, Peoria, and end in Aurora, a suburb of Chicago.
