Big Muddy Adventure

Last month, we met Malcolm Reed, a recent Loyola University graduate now embarking on an incredible journey. Malcolm and fellow Loyola graduate Mitchell Shelby will be canoeing the Mississippi River from its headwaters in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico! The duo has generously offered to donate a portion of the proceeds they raise via their gofundme page to Friends of LOOP. Furthermore, we're hoping to rendezvous with Malcolm and Mitchell as they paddle through New Orleans this fall. Keep abreast of their journey by checking out their blog, and stay tuned for the exciting collaborations we have in store.
