A long time ago, Lewis and Clark explored the Missouri River with the goal of charting new territory. This year, experienced outdoorsman Jim Emanuel is following in their footsteps and pioneering the first-ever canoe trip to support ALSF. Jim began his 2,500 mile solo trek in Montana and will continue to canoe his way to St. Louis. He chose ALSF after deciding he wanted to help kids with cancer in some way because “children are naturally friendly, honest, genuine and truthful, all the qualities that cancer isn’t.” While the 2,500 mile trek will test his stamina, he knows that his extra miles are nothing compared to what children battling cancer go through.
