It’s always a breath of fresh air to see young people using their energy and their time to help others. This is even more so during these difficult times. Two University of Massachusetts Boston friends are scheduling an adventure to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

What are they doing? They are planning to head out from their college campus today to skate to Mason, Michigan. They plan to skate about 100 to 150 miles each day and to finish the goal in 7-10 days. As Jacob Adkins, whose mother has been battling cancer explained,  

“There’s all this craziness in the world, yet there’s still people battling cancer. We want to bring a positive light in the darkness.”

They plan to raise money along the way for the American Cancer Society. Let’s wish them luck!
