Cancer Changes Lives. So Do We.

Hey Family and Friends,

On April 11th I will be teaming up with the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults as me and 20 other riders will bike from Baltimore to Key West in order to raise awareness, promote hope and support, and ultimately help change the lives of others who have been affected by cancer in some way. I am so excited for this opportunity to simultaneously help others while honoring my mom, Christie, who lost her heroic battle with cancer almost 2 years ago. 

As many of you know, my family and I refuse to let my mother become simply another memory. We keep her legacy alive by telling her stories, sharing her kindness, and (attempting to) selflessly help others the way only she could do.  It is my hope that through this experience, I will be able to comfort and support others who have battled cancer in their own personal way.

Unfortunately, this shit ain't free (pardon my French), which is why I need your help! Most of you think that as a personal trainer, I am just ROLLING in the dough, but lets just say I could use some help with this fundraising.  I have to raise at least $4500 to cover all of the expenses of the trip to make sure that the Ulman Cancer Fund and I have everything we need to make as big of an impact as possible, so please know any donation will help go a long way!

Thank you so much for your support and for helping me make this an unforgettable experience

 

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer"

- Romans 12:12
