Greyson, childhood cancer survivor and honorary co-captain of The Great Loop Challenge 2026, was dockside last night to help welcome Captain Red and the team as they arrived in St. Pete.

He also underwent substantial physical therapy, learning to walk again. Greyson range the bell in July 2025, signifying that he completed treatment. He loves the outdoors—especially hunting, fishing, riding four-wheelers, and playing with his little sister—and embodies resilience and the joy of being a kid again.
