In 2009, I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 38. Shortly thereafter, I connected with an incredible organization, Young Survival Coalition.
On September 16, I will embark on a 3-day, 200+ mile journey in supoort of YSC. Cycling was something I took up before my diagnosis and was the one physical activity that saw me through my recovery of my own battle and the emotional journey that cancer bestowed on me over the last five years. In 2012, I completed my first century, less than 4 months after completing my final round of chemotherapy and just 2 months before I lost my dad to a year long, valiant battle with lung cancer. In 2014, I watched my dearest friend lose her mom to pancreatic cancer and I lost my own mom after a courageous fight with breast cancer, so to this I say Suck It Cancer! and I will continue to ride and to raise as long as I can!
YSC provides toung women with the tools and support they need to fight cancer. This organization provides vital education, outreach and advocacy programs, ensuring mo no woman is left to fight cancer alone. I will ride the miles, but I need your help. No donation is too small - every dollar helps! Together we WILL make a difference!
