48 State Motorcycle Ride · 13 May 2026

Quantum House is a caring and supportive home that lessens the burden for families whose children are receiving treatment in Palm Beach County for a serious medical condition.

Story

At 20 years old, I became a mother under circumstances I never could have prepared for. My daughter, Taylor, was born at just 28 weeks, 2 pounds, 1 ounce, and spent nearly three months fighting in the NICU at St. Mary’s Hospital in West Palm Beach.

I lived over an hour away, had very little money, and no idea how I was going to manage it all.

That’s when Quantum House stepped in.

They gave me a place to stay just steps from the hospital. They gave me meals when I couldn’t think about feeding myself. But more than anything they gave me a community of people who understood exactly what I was going through.

That kind of support changes you.

And it’s something I’ve never forgotten.

Now, 22 years later, I have the opportunity to give back.

In May 2026, I’ll be attempting a 7,367-mile motorcycle ride across 48 states, pushing for a record as the fastest woman to complete the route.

But this ride isn’t just about miles or records.

It’s about purpose.

I’m riding to raise $7,367… one dollar for every mile to support Quantum House and the families who are currently living the reality I once did.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps keep a family close to their child during the hardest moments of their life.

This ride may be mine…

but the impact belongs to all of us.
