What is your vision? If all it is is travelling from KY to CO and then bumming around once you get there that does not seem compelling enough to attract any kind of sponsorship. Perhaps if you were riding through the Wyoming dessert with 100 lbs of gear . . . (nah, that is not that compelling either).
You don't say how old you are. I think there is a big difference asking friends and family for help if you are 20 versus 40. At 20 perhaps you can spin this as a learning experience of some sort and generate interest that way. On the other hand, if you're 40 most people would expect you to be able to finance this on your own, or not go.
