Today we biked from Austin, Texas (campus) to Cedar Park, about 30 miles out of Austin. We're actually kicking off our ride via the ATLAS ride from Cedar Park bright and early tomorrow morning. I'm getting super excited to be embarking on this journey with my teammates, and I can't wait to see all the things God will reveal to me along the way. It's been a crazy journey thus far with our ups and downs, but ultimately we are united under one message--that is to spread hope, knowledge, and charity in the fight against cancer. I don't think I say this enough, but I acknowledge that cancer is more than just a physical ailment, but an emotional and spiritual trial as well. In these next seventy days, I seek to hopefully encourage those I meet enduring said trials.

The road will be long-- but I have no doubt it will be worth every inch. Thank you all for your support, prayers, and donations. I would not be here riding tomorrow morning without you guys.

until tomorrow,

Eric
