Cross Country Trek

Four deaf and hard-of-hearing cyclists are making their way across the country to raise money for Miles for Smiles. The organization offers surgery to children in developing countries with cleft palates. The riders began nearly a month ago in Venice beach, California and are on their way to St. Augustine, Florida. The goal is to raise $24,000 to help 100 kids. So far, they have $7,000. Read more about the trip or to give a donation here. The 4000 mile trip includes stops at schools for the deaf. They paid a visit to the Texas School for the Deaf in Austin where KVUE-TV filed this video report.
