Back in June the East Chapel Hill High School Graduates who are Boy Scouts embarked on an epic bike journey from Florence, Oregon to travel 66 days and 3,900 miles to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Their mission, to honor a schoolmate they lost to cancer and to raise awareness and funds for teen cancer programs.

As the trip began in Oregon, it will close with a synchronized dip of bicycle wheels into the ocean. The public is invited to attend the August 18th event.
