Business students and Pi Kappa Phi brothers Dave Eaton, left, and Danny Mogolov began riding their bikes in San Francisco in June. They stopped on the steps of the nation’s Capitol 4,000 miles later, where journalism senior Jaime Walker was there to greet them. The two riders raised $8,000 that will go toward Walker’s education as part of the national fraternity’s “Journey of Hope” event that raised $350,000 this year. Mogolov and Eaton rode half of each day and spent the other half helping youngsters with disabilities. Horseback riding, campfires and sing-alongs were the agenda for most stops, Mogolov said, and “helping children and teenagers with disabilities feel as normal as they can; we tried to take away their disability for a few hours. The experience made me certain that I always want part of my life to help show how amazing people with disabilities are.”
