Archived: Minneapolis Pianist To Raise Money For Cancer Research By Biking Across Lower 48 States

Even though Mother Nature hasn’t provided the best weather across the region this summer, Minneapolis pianist and composer George Maurer isn’t going let anything stop the journey he will be starting Thursday.

Maurer will be biking across the lower 48 states in 48 days to raise money for cancer research in memory of a late friend, Carolyn Herd, who died of cancer in 2012. She completed the same journey in 1988.

Maurer explains how he will be starting his journey and in what ways he will mirror Carolyn’s route.

The musician’s goal is to raise 20,000 dollars for a memorial fund in Held’s name to benefit cancer research at the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center.
