Cycling South: Alaska to South America for Breast Cancer

After 4+ unbelievable months on the road, we are back home in Alaska.

Those who have been following our adventures will remember that in late November, our journey south came to an end, in Mexico. At that time, Jesse joined a boat crew to travel north, and I jumped back in the saddle to travel east on my bike, with a target of Florida. Shortly after that, my father came from Alaska to join me, and we put in some amazing miles together as we headed through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. However… he did not have any cycling equipment, so we had to get him outfitted with a bike, riding clothes and equipment, and he really stepped up to the challenge.

Unfortunately, our trip was cut short by a knee injury, and despite wanting to continue, our family doctor advised cutting the trip short in favor of recovery. As part of the happy ending to this incredible journey, we traveled back to Alaska to surprise my  mother on Christmas Eve!

I’m now back to work at my job in Alaska, and readjusting to life off of the bike. I’m really looking forward to visiting my friends at the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation in April, when my mother and I will be traveling to join them at their annual People with Purpose event. Thanks again to all of our readers and followers for your amazing support during this journey.
