Profile

About: Hi, welcome to my profile, and thank you for visiting and supporting Texas 4000!

My name is Jack and I was born in a small town in East Texas called Kilgore and I grew up in a single-parent household with my mother and sister. Currently, I am studying biochemistry and health & society to hopefully pursue a career in either medicine or healthcare administration and law.

Some of my favorite hobbies and pastimes include cooking, traveling, keeping up with politics, and drinking TONS of tea.

Why I Ride

Joining Texas 4k and biking to Alaska is truly one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that seem impossible to the average person. When I first came to college and learned about this organization, I was precisely one of those who thought such a feat was nigh impossible or unobtainable.

For me, joining Texas 4000 would mean much more than merely riding a bike to Alaska, raising money to develop cancer treatments, or developing leadership skills. Just like the three primary principles of Texas 4k, I want to ride for CHARITY so that humans have the resources necessary to accelerate this fight against cancer. I want to ride for knowledge to spread awareness and better combat cancer in the future. Finally, I want to ride for hope to inspire the communities around the country to join in the fight against cancer.

To Alaska & Back,

Jack Cheng
