His grand niece, 3-year-old Emery Smith, died from a neuroblastoma cancer and he's keeping her memory alive by raising money for the organization named after her. The journey is part of "Emery's Thunder Ride," which will consist of three coast-to-coast crossings (one for each year of Emery's life) from July to September 2023
Halper will be continuing on to San Diego before heading back east.
