Can a solo rider get sponsored?
I'm getting more and more serious about attempting a cross country bike ride this summer. It is a very personal journey, but if I can do some good by getting sponsored for charity, I'd love to do that.
I'd love for a company to say, "If you complete your journey, we will donate $x amount to the charity of your choice."
Is this possible or are these things typically reserved for actual events?

Check out the crazyguyonabike.com web site, there are several people who have raised money for various charities on their tours.

Be sure to check out www.firstgiving.com They represent tons of groups and also make it easy to raise money for the group(s) of your choice! Hope this helps some.
