Captain "Red" Flowers and the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation Relaunch The Great Loop Challenge to Raise $1 Million for Kids Fighting Cancer

DELAND, Fla., Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) has relaunched The Great Loop Challenge, powered by Honda Marine, an expanded continuation of the extraordinary awareness campaign led by Captain Scott "Red" Flowers in 2024. Flowers completed the iconic 6,000‑mile Great Loop in a record‑setting 19 days and 19 hours aboard a 28‑foot boat, drawing national attention to the urgent need for increased funding for pediatric cancer research. Building on that momentum, NPCF and Captain Red are returning with a larger, more ambitious second chapter.
