The 2341 mile odyssey of canoeing the Missouri River has come to an end. Fran, Amos and I finished at the Arch in St Louis on another blazing hot afternoon. The elation of seeing the arch from miles away on the river is hard to describe after 63 days of river travel.   Amazing wildlife, stunning scenery and as always on my big adventures the people I encountered along  the journey were the fantastic. The generosity and desire to go out of their way to be of help certainly is a testament to the nature of so many people. The term “River Angels” is not hyperbole.   Thanks to all of you!!  Now it is back to the world and a project that I am very excited about. The big fundraising event for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is August 28. Donation details are on the website.   And congrats to Fran and Amos for being a big part of this once in a lifetime journey 👍🏻💪🏼🏃‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚣‍♂️

About Frank

Frank, a Father of 3, Papa of 7 never sits still for long! He is passionate about exploring and conquering new quests and is always looking forward to the next one!

In 2019, Frank embarked on his life long dream of hiking the AT, which he accomplished over a 5 month period! Just over a year later, in November 2020, he spent 8 weeks biking from San Diego, CA to New Smyrna Beach, FL.

Ten months after returning home, in November of 2021, Frank was diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma. The outlook was not promising, but Frank prevailed and is doing better than ever! It was one more conquered quest , albeit unplanned. 

He is now embarking on a canoe trip along the Missouri River and will be raising money and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
