Recently, through a mutual acquaintance, I became aware of a young woman named Mikki Kragelund. Mikki is a Danish American who grew up in Cocoa Beach, FL near our Absolutely Natural headquarters. She has since moved to the beautiful country of New Zealand where she and a friend named Nina Oosterveer decided to make an inspirational journey together riding their bicycles North to South through New Zealand, approximately 1,500 miles. For a comparison within the U.S. the distance is roughly Dallas to Los Angeles or Boston to Miami!
The inspiration for their ride came about as a way to celebrate “life” one year after Mikki received her last treatment for skin cancer that she had been diagnosed with nearly two years earlier at the young age of 24. She and Nina selected The World Skin Cancer Foundation to be the charity they wanted to raise funds for through their own personal, grass-roots efforts.

Absolutely Natural is pleased and grateful to Mikki and Nina for allowing us to take part as Title Sponsor of Sunny Cyclers! Their inspiring adventure through the wonderful scenery of New Zealand is being chronicled via today’s web technology as they share journal updates and pictures on their website and via Facebook.
