Miles with Mordecai, Day Two: Moving Forward Together (Day 2)

Day two of Miles with Mordecai brought another 26.2 miles along the High Line Canal Trail—and more reminders of the community standing behind our Community College of Aurora students.

Thank you to Ethan Sewald from the Aurora Economic Development Council, Suzanna Fry Jones from the High Line Canal Conservancy, and Mary Sarah Schweiger from UMB Bank for walking alongside me. Their presence brought encouragement and energy as the miles added up.

We also welcomed CCA student Mady Osborne, a Presidential Scholar and NASA Space Grant Scholar. Having students join this journey made its purpose even more meaningful: raising funds to support students experiencing housing, food, and transportation insecurity.

I’m grateful to every donor, sponsor, and supporter helping us move toward our $40,000 fundraising goal. Every gift helps students overcome barriers and keep pursuing their education.

Enjoy these moments from day two, and support our students at www.ccaurora.edu/miles.
