This year, Barton, a junior finance major at the University of South Alabama, will manage and take care of more than 20 cyclists and crew who will participate in a 4,430-mile ride as part of Pi Kappa Phi’s “Journey of Hope.” As they travel from Seattle, Wash., to Washington D.C., beginning June 6 and ending Aug. 12, the cyclists and crew will spend the nights in churches, high schools and community centers.
