Raising money for a good cause? Sounds great. Checking an item off a bucket list? You bet.
That’s why a group of Cedar Rapids cyclists are taking their two-wheelers and riding cross-country.
“Riding across the country has been on my bucket list for a long long time,” said Jenny Lorenz. “I decided that it would make sense to marry that dream with raising funds for Alzheimer’s, because my mom is suffering from Alzheimer’s and has been for a long long time.”
Joining Jenny in her cross-country ride are four other Cedar Rapids bikers who’s families have also been affected by Alzheimer’s
The 63-day journey is from ocean to ocean. They start in San Diego, and go through several southern U.S. cities like Tempe, El Paso, Austin, New Orleans, Pensacola and finally Saint Augustine, Florida.
