Episode Details

Sixty-one-year-old Eric Calmand, a former French cycling champion and prostate cancer survivor, is biking around the world on an electric-assist bike to reclaim joy and fund cancer research. Since leaving Quebec City in April, he’s covered 2,600 miles, including stops at Niagara Falls and Bozeman, Montana—where he rafted and brewed beer. Diagnosed in early 2023, he’s raised over $2,600 for the World Cancer Research Foundation, honoring a personal promise to live boldly after surgery. With a heavy camping rig and fueled by savings and a pension, he’ll resume his journey July 30th toward Mexico and beyond, chasing the Seven Wonders while battling lingering treatment effects—but his athletic past keeps him pushing forward, one scenic mile at a time.
