I ride for my Uncle Bobby- an amazing uncle, a dearly loved son, and a loyal brother. In September he was unexpectedly diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away a few weeks later, at too young of an age. I miss him dearly and I devote my ride in his memory.

I also ride for more distant relatives in my family who survived cancer. I know their journeys were filled with fear, anxiety, and pain. Additionally, there are relatives I never got to know because they lost their lives to the disease. I ride for those relatives who are survivors. I ride for those relatives who succumbed to cancer before I had the chance to know them well. I ride for my great-grandmother who died of colon cancer. I ride for my favorite teacher in 5th grade who battled the disease. I ride for my best friend's mom, who is in complete remission.

The hope that fewer and fewer people will get this awful diagnosis, and the list of who people ride for will get shorter and shorter as we make great advancements against this awful disease.

And I ride for you and your loved ones.

To Alaska and back!
