St. Ambrose University Journalism professor and former WQAD-TV reporter Alan Sivell, 64, is putting his 2 new knees through the paces — fulfilling a goal to ride across Iowa in RAGBRAI, July 19-25, 2015.

Alan’s new knees will power him across Iowa’s cornfields right into Davenport, where RAGBRAI ends. Each day, Alan will blog about Quad City area residents riding on RAGBRAI, and he’s looking forward to telling their stories for ORA’s Let’s Move Quad Cities’ web site and social media channels.

“I like to find everyday people who accomplish extraordinary things and share their stories to inspire others.”
