We’d like to thank all who were a part of our Ride Against Cancer, in honor of Cooper Larson.
It’s been over a month since our trip ended, and we’d like to take the time to thank everyone who contributed to our Ride Against Cancer! Family, friends, strangers, bike shops, businesses, news teams, -- we cannot thank you enough!
It took us two months to bike nearly 4,000 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. We had countless meaningful experiences across the country, in which we shared hope, joy, and something special with people affected by cancer. We wish the whole world could experience the gratitude and meaningfulness our gifts provided the people we visited – all made possible by our supporters.
Many people have asked us which state was our favorite to bike through. But the truth is, it wasn’t the sites we saw that made our trip so unforgettable, but rather the people we met and the friends we made who made our journey so amazing. We’d like to thank everyone who showed us such generosity and hospitality along the way. We’re fortunate to have met such lovely people and we will never forget the kindness we received!
Due to the generous donations we received, we have some money left. We plan on continuing our random acts of kindness towards people who’ve been affected by cancer, as long as our funds allow.
I’m back at school now and volunteering twice a week with the LiveSTRONG program at the Mankato Family YMCA. I get to use my experience and personal training skills to help cancer survivors regain their strength during or after treatment! Cancer survivors are a special group of people and I enjoy working with them! Mitch heads out east at the end of the month to continue his training with the Army. We wish the best of luck to everyone we met on our journey and we miss you all!
Sincerely,
Alex and Mitch
