JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville man will spend six months biking across America in partnership with Chemo Noir, a cancer nonprofit that helps provide financial support to the families, friends, and fighters in their battle with the disease. “I really want to give back to Jacksonville, it’s kind of my adopted city, my adopted home,” explained Greg Taylor. On February 20, Taylor will ride solo from Jacksonville to San Diego; San Diego to Seattle; Seattle to Maine; and Maine back home to Jacksonville. “It has always been on my bucket list to conquer the United States in a way that few have, all while generating charitable donations for a foundation I fully support,” Taylor said. His journey will be approximately 11,500 miles and take upwards of six months to complete.
