The Peoples Health Champions Program honored Estelle Coffman on Oct. 8, 2018, during the New Orleans Saints game against the Washington Redskins. At age 78, Coffman accomplished her goal of completing a bicycle trip in each of the 50 states. Determination gained from life experience, as well as encouragement from her family, helped her power through challenging rides to experience the rewards of biking across the country. When she reflects on the tens of thousands of miles she’s pedaled, she doesn’t linger on the difficulties—instead, she focuses on the friendships she’s made along the way.
