Kenneth Gregersen grew up in Buena Vista County, Iowa, in a rented house with no electricity or running water. But one gift changed everything, a bicycle his parents somehow managed to buy for $12 during the Great Depression. That bike became his escape, his joy, and the beginning of a lifelong love for cycling.

Life had kept him busy, raising a family, working hard, and later caring for his beloved wife, Evie, through her battle with Alzheimer’s. After she passed away five years ago, Ken found peace in morning bike rides, soaking in the fresh air and the memories they once shared.

When the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) passed through his town of Ankeny in 2023, Ken joined for a few miles and was instantly hooked. “I need to do this before I’m too old to do anything,” he said. He trained through winter, rode solo, and leaned on family for support. On Day 2, he completed the ride from Milford to Estherville in just 4.5 hours, which was faster than he expected. He also rode Day 6, proudly wearing a neon yellow jersey with “Gregersen” and “93” printed boldly on the back.

His message to fellow riders and dreamers everywhere: “It’s never too late. Find something that excites you and pursue it. That’s what keeps you young.”

Right at Home is honored to highlight Jasper, a care professional from Right at Home Overland Park, Kansas, for the compassion and thoughtfulness she brings to her work every day. When Jasper learned that her client Linda would be spending her 56th wedding anniversary without her late husband, she found a beautiful way to honor their love. Knowing that Linda still greets and speaks to her husband each day, Jasper drew a portrait of him so Linda could feel his presence more closely. She also brought her flowers, not from herself, but as a loving gesture "from her husband," just as he would have done.

Jasper’s actions reflect the heart of our mission to improve the quality of life for those we serve. She reminded us that caregiving is not just about meeting physical needs, but about recognizing the emotional depth of each person’s story. We are grateful to Jasper for her empathy, creativity, and the meaningful connection she has built with Linda.
