Cycling for a Cure

On Monday, January 22, Kyle Bryant was on The Scripps Research Institute's La Jolla campus looking ahead to 2,800 miles of road, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to Memphis, Tennessee.

Bryant, who suffers from the rare genetic disease Friedreich's ataxia—one of the topics of investigation in Scripps Research labs—plans to cover the territory on his modified bicycle, raising awareness and research funds for his disorder along the way.
