Bloomfield Hills athlete swims, bikes and runs 320 miles to raise money for Pontiac homeless shelter

Ryan Walker, a Bloomfield Hills endurance athlete, is completing a 320-mile Ultraman triathlon over three days to raise funds for Hope Shelters in Pontiac. The event includes a 6.2-mile swim, 171-mile bike ride, and 52.4-mile double marathon, with Walker having previously raised over $34,000 for the shelter through endurance challenges. His efforts are motivated by his mother's history with addiction and homelessness, and the shelter supports individuals with similar struggles.
