As today is Easter, there are two things I am especially thankful for: family and health. Both of these also happen to be major reasons why I joined Texas 4000. I am so lucky to have such a loving and caring family. Being so close with my family is something I hope to never take […]

The longer I’m in Texas 4000, the more I realize how big of an impact this organization actually has; not on the cancer community alone, but on its riders too — on us. Each ride we’re divided into random groups of 5-7. So each week, we (more or less) ride with different people. I’ve noticed […]

Day 2 (Saturday, 3/10/2013) : Seguin Tx to Canyon city Tx – 52 miles Wake up was around 6.30am. I got ready and ate breakfast. Most of our food was donated by HEB. During ride dedications, I dedicated the ride to my paternal grandfather who had bone cancer. I knew I am going to be […]

Today marks one year since my father’s death. I cannot believe how much time has passed by. It feels like only last month that I held his hand and talked to him. It’s weird. One would think that time would stop when you lose a loved one, but it doesn’t. The world moves on. And […]

Here we go. We’ll leave our minds here. We don’t need them where we’re going, Just our souls and illusions of grandeur.

This blog was a long time coming. I was secretly hoping that someone else will blog about the spring break ride 🙂 Finally, I decided to bite the bullet so that I can chronicle my experiences. For the uninitiated, Spring break ride is a 3 day ride and is a T4k training regiment to emulate […]

“$4,500 is the minimum, but we are NOT a minimum team.” I said this to my team in a recent meeting. I was talking about fundraising, but it really applies to this whole journey. I’ve recently come across a colloquialism that I have started to say a lot, “it’s all relative.” I use it for […]
