Jay Blanchard’s Cross Country Trip Halfway Home

Jay Blanchard has been pedaling a bike across the country coast to coast to raise awareness and money for the American Widow Project.  He began his journey June 2nd and when his trip is complete he will have ridden more than 4,200 miles from Oregon to Virginia.  He's currently in western Missouri battling not only fatigue, but excessively high heat.  In his latest video Jay says he has been drinking more fluids than he ever has in his life and sweating it out just as quickly

Jay is a financial advisor with the Financial Guys in Williamsville and is participating in the Trans Am Bike Race, the world's longest unsupported bicycle race.  From Astoria, Oregon to Yorktown, Virginia he's riding in support of an organization that provides the kind of help military widows and their families need after the tragedy of losing a loved one.
