Geography Lesson / Ride for Cancer
I just have to mention this young man, who happens to be my cousin's son. He is riding a bicycle across the U.S. in an effort to raise money for cancer research. As of this writing, he is halfway to his goal of $25,000. Please help him spread the word.
Andrew Bascue lost his grandmother to pancreatic cancer in April of this year. She was my dear Aunt Ruth. Perhaps a year before that Andrew's good friend also lost his battle to cancer. And he knows others who are fighting their own battles right now. He has had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to do something meaningful, something difficult, to help in this fight. So this is his solution.
He began his ride on September 8, and has been keeping a blog to recap his experiences, which have been many and varied. While he has a general itinerary, he has not planned just where he will sleep each night, or exactly when he will be where. It sounds like an incredible adventure.
Here's where the geography lesson can come in. We have been following his route on a map, trying to predict where he will go next, and learning a bit of geography in the process. He is either at the eastern edge of Idaho, or has just crossed into Wyoming. His blog is called lifespoke, and I will post that link on my page. I appreciate your interest in this worthy cause.

for anyone trying to find it. I did a search and then had to get creative, because what I found was not correct at first.
