I'm walking 100 miles from Purdue to IU for the basketball game on Feb 17 in honor of @theTylerTrent. All proceeds go to the Tyler Trent Cancer Research Endowment, and will be matched by the Walter Foundation.

WATCH: This is our entire story of @alai2016's 100 mile walk from WL to Bloomington for @theTylerTrent, from training to arriving at Assembly Hall. Aaron, you are incredible! Thank you for letting me tell your story. $22k (and counting) raised for cancer research! @WLFI (1/2)
What an honor to meet you @alai2016 ! What an amazing young man you are and what an accomplishment. Just WOW! Words are inadequate for our gratefulness for your sacrifice! Praying you get some seriously good rest tonight and recovery! So glad our Boilers won!!!💛🖤
Tonight's real MVP. 👏
Aaron Lai (@alai2016) walked/ran 100 miles from West Lafayette to Bloomington in honor of Tyler Trent and his grandfather and their fights against cancer.
And he saw a @BoilerBall win:
I made it at 620pm. With @theTylerTrent and my Grandfather in mind, I ran the last 6miles. 100 Miles for Tyler Trent done. Thank you everyone for the support!

Day 2: 9am-12am, Barely made it to Mile 65 in Coverdale. Pain was unbearable for the last 5 miles but the people that supported me on the way motivated me. This is for you, @theTylerTrent and Grandpa.
