BIOGRAPHY
Hey, my name is Neal Linden, and I am a freshman studying aerospace engineering. As well as the Illini 4k I am in the marching Illini. In my free time I love to play sax and just live life.
PERSONAL STATEMENT
I didn't know what the Illini 4k was when I applied for this, all I knew was that I was supposed to ride a bike across the country to support people fighting cancer. But it is so much more than that, the fundraising is a big part, but I think the portraits project might make the most impact. I want everyone to be able to tell their story so that nobody thinks they are alone in a fight with cancer.
