Pedal for Pink Summer 2021

July 19th, 2021

Proctor MN on July 11th to Blaney Park, MI on July 18th

Six states down, seven to go! This week Abby and Kevin pedaled through Minnesota, Wisconsin, and are now in Michigan.  Michigan is big, so they will spend the next week riding across the Wolverine State, sometimes called the Great Lakes State. They will spend quite a few days skirting Lake Michigan as they go from Escanaba, to Petoskey, Traverse City, and Manistee. From there, they head inland through Le Roy, Midland, then end the week in Lansing.
 
In the picture, the Sanderfords posed with some new friends beside Claire d’Loon, the World’s Largest Talking Loon in Mercer, WI.
 
Last week also included dancing in the street, a ferry ride, and meeting lots of wildlife like a big tortoise and some pretty deer along the way.
 
 

Miles Pedaled to date: 2,465

Woot Woot! Thank you, sponsors!
We give a special thank you to new Checkpoint Sponsor Robert Clapper from Colorado, and Pedal Pledge sponsors, Lila & Robert Sessums from Mississippi!  Each mile pedaled and your generosity supports local cancer patients.  You make a difference in the lives of so many.

Please consider making a pledge, sponsorship, or participating in the virtual ride-along.
