World cyclist with cancer survives global trek and dog team
Randolph Westphal, a cancer survivor essentially homeless, continues cycling the world with his three dogs, relying on German medical support and donations. He endured a 1996 Argentina crash that left him in a coma and without memory, later completing more than 40 leg operations and earning a Guinness record for the longest bicycle trek with a dog. He plans to fly to Germany from Anchorage after finishing in Alaska. He urges others with cancer to stay active and hopeful.
