HONOLULU (KHON2) -- It was the ultimate tribute to her dad -- a 1,600-mile long bike ride that spanned over eight countries from Ireland to Denmark.
Honolulu resident Lori McCarney honored her late father, Sanford Brown, who battled Alzheimer's.
McCarney and her father shared a passion for biking. Her passion has brought her to embark on the journey that will take her across Europe to raise $8,000 over five weeks for the Alzheimer's Association -- Hawaii.
Lori will also take part in "The Longest Day," which is a signature "do-it-yourself" fundraising event that honors "the strength, passion, and endurance of those facing Alzheimer's, their caregivers, and to support the vital and mission-critical work of the Alzheimer's Association.
"It's really difficult for families and I just wanna give a hug to all of the people out there caring for people with Alzheimer's. It's truly a real demonstration of true love, it really is," said McCarney.
Reports said Lori conducted her big fundraising pushes on her father's birthday, June 13, and on Father's Day.
