CHASKA HERALD — Francis Sadler ’17 is always on the move.
The Chaska resident grew up competing on the rugby and alpine skiing teams at Minnetonka High School, and is also an avid biker.
Now he’s going on a 4,000-mile bike ride to raise money and awareness for cancer through the Maryland-based Ulman Foundation this summer. The 70-day journey will begin in Baltimore on June 2 and end in Portland on Aug. 10.
“I’m most relaxed when I’m being active,” said Francis, who is originally from the United Kingdom and moved with his family to Minnesota in 2009. “The challenge is a good opportunity to take a unique look at the U.S. and to talk to others going through many of the same issues I went through.”

“Personally, I think it is insane,” Leon said of the Ulman ride, noting that through his cancer, Francis was always there helping the family — even when he was living in St. Cloud to attend college.
“If there’s something more that can be done, he will step up and do it,” Leon said.
