AP Wire | 06/19/2006 | Cyclists stop in Miss. to aid hurricane recovery: "MOSS POINT, Miss. - Five college students bicycling across the country to aid hurricane recovery stopped in two Mississippi cities recently.

'We're trying to spread the word across America to make everyone aware of the project we're doing, and to encourage other students to take the initiative and make a difference by developing innovative projects of their own design,' said cyclist Pegah Javidpour.

Texans Cycling America for Rebuilding Efforts are pedaling 4,000 miles from Florida to California.

The students, all natives of Houston, Texas, hope to raise awareness of the Gulf Coast's recovery needs, in addition to $15,000 for local relief organizations, Javidpour said."
