Cyclist completes cross-country US trip in memory of late wife
A 55-year-old financial adviser spent seven weeks cycling 3,800 miles across the United States to honor his late wife, who died of breast cancer in 2017.
Declan Faulkner embarked on a 43-day cycling journey from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine, accompanied by his friend Donncha O'Brien. The trip fulfilled a long-held dream he and his late wife, Patrina, had discussed after visiting the United States decades earlier. Patrina passed away from breast cancer in 2017 four years after her diagnosis. Declan used endurance sports as a mental outlet during her illness and dedicated the grueling ride across North America to raising cancer awareness and honoring her memory.
