Phew! I have finally surpassed the first fundraising benchmark: $1,500. I am amazed at the folks who have donated and I cannot express my gratitude. It means more to have that jumpstart at the beginning from loved ones. Not only is it a financial support for a greater cause, it is also an emotional support […]
Something I noticed the other day: I wouldn’t have met the Texas 4000 friends I kick it with… without Texas 4000. It’s truly inspiring how an organization can bring a bunch of ragtaggers together, all fighting for a single cause. To think that I might not have had the chance to meet any one of […]
Hey Everyone, It is officially my ride year as of Saturday, and I could not be more excited. Honestly, it is a little surreal because it always seemed that the actual ride was a long way away. Fitness has been getting more challenging. Today, I woke up at 6:45 and ran a 5K at town […]
245 Days. 5:14 AM. Austin, TX. I had another dream. Most days I wake up with an indescribable joy for life. It’s another day. I’m ready to start it. Some days I dread. Lately studying has taken more and more of a toll out of me. This entire summer was filled with it and classes […]

I have now been in Texas 4000 for about 8 month, and it would be an understatement to say it is life changing. Without this organization my eyes would not have been opened so much wider to how far and how common cancer affects people. I joined this amazing organization because of the effect cancer […]
Hello all, First off, I want to thank all of the people who have already showed such great support for me and Texas 4000 thus far. I have decided to use this blog to inform all of you about what led me to Texas 4000. Teachers truly change lives. If you are lucky, you will […]
Tonight’s the night. Tribute is the last event for the 2013 team to be in the spotlight. After tonight, it’s our time. It’s just us. Seeing pictures and videos from 2013ers has gotten me beyond excited for the year ahead. I feel so lucky to be a part of this team of great people, and […]
My ride year started about a week ago, right after Tribute ended, and I still can’t believe it. Things are about to start moving faster and faster, and I’m excited. I’ve never been a part of an idea that has as large of an impact as T4K, I’m dead set on not letting this be […]
