Congratulations to Chadwick and Amanda Jones from Virginia for visiting all 50 states in an impressive 37 days! While some may think that traveling to all 50 states in such a short time means missing out on experiences, the Jones proved otherwise. They explored American classics, visited a Wildlife Center in Alaska, hiked in Hawaii, enjoyed a ride at the Mall of America, attended a baseball game, and so much more!
From Chadwick:
What an incredible journey! 10,420 driving miles, 6,898 flying miles, multiple Uber rides, and a couple of boat rides. We got to see all the landscapes of America. We visited the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean,2 Great Lakes, Niagara Falls, the Atlantic Ocean, and even the center of the country. We met new friends along the way. I feel so blessed and thankful to have been able to do this trip. I also feel extremely blessed to raise some money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you have a passion for something, follow that passion wherever it might be, and you can do anything you set your mind to. Just believe in yourself and give it a go.
