Today I made my “Why I’m Here” presentation to my team. The past few days have been full of everything from stomach pangs from anxiety to visions of completely messing up while talking. Now, I’m in that state of bewildered calm that comes right after you play that solo, right after you swim that race, […]

Today, I had almost come to terms on giving up raising the required funds by this Saturday–which also happens to be my 20th birthday. We have made this new policy that if a rider doesn’t meet the deadline, they cannot participate on the Saturday team rides until they are able to raise the funds. I […]

Howdy cancer-fighters! It’s been a while since I’ve posted and so much has happened. I hope to eventually write about things like getting our bikes and team rides and the new 2014 team, but today I wanna talk about something fresh. There have been a lot of fundraising deadlines lately and I was WAY behind […]

Here it is, take one of “milestones”. I hope to continue updates such as this one with other milestones and to update this one to include milestones that I’ve left out, but for now, here’s whats on my mind. This week, 1/27-2/2, I hit what I consider to be two important milestones in terms of […]

2013 has gotten off to a great start, and although I miss the chill lifestyle that I adopted over the break, it’s good to be back in Austin and training with my team. During one of my first weeks back, I got a message from my cousin Olivia! She’s being a badass in Singapore right […]

So I know I had promised this a long time ago…but better late than never is what I like to say. So last time I was talking about how I was going to get a different bike than everyone else because I am so short. So I did finally get my very own bike!! I […]

Here’s what the last few months have been like: We got our bikes in October, the first step in a long journey. At the Baylor – Texas game, we got a $10,000 check from Nike and raised awareness on campus. Before every ride, we gather together and say who we’re riding for that day. On […]
