(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- A Cedar Rapids pilot is flying around the Atlantic Ocean to raise donations for research into curing polio.

Peter Teahan left from New Jersey on his second worldwide flight Saturday with co-pilot Ed Galkin.

Two years ago, the pair flew around the world to raise awareness for the same cause during a 90-day trip.

The duo plan to visit 11 countries in 37 days with the goal of raising one million dollars for polio research.

They'll leave Iceland for Europe today.
