Summary
Frank Carter, 67, finished a 2,341-mile canoe trip down the Missouri River with his dog Amos, ending near St. Louis after 64 days on the water.
The Florida adventurer took on the journey after beating mantle cell lymphoma, a rare blood cancer, and has remained cancer-free for four years following a single CAR-T cell therapy infusion.
The trip began in Montana in a hand-built cedar-strip canoe and forced Carter and Amos to camp along the river through storms, high winds and hail.
Carter said he undertook the expedition to celebrate his recovery and encourage other cancer patients to stay active and hopeful after treatment.
