I’m Riding Boston to NYC, honoring those lost to Sept 11 and cancer. Please join me in helping those affected—

I saw the loss and courage on 9/11 with my own eyes. I’ve been through cancer myself and have lost loved ones. On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I will have the opportunity to support two causes close to my heart.

I was in lower Manhattan on that awful and brave day. Heading toward the towers with baby Nazareth in his stroller for his 3-month ped. checkup. His father had just stepped out of the WTC subway station, and decided to have a coffee in the sunshine before heading into a meeting at the WFC. We all saw things beyond words, and (thankfully, together at a safe distance) we watched the towers fall, struggling to conceive of the heartbreaking losses. The fire station on our block lost five men that day. The smoke and debris clouded the air for over three months. At ground zero, it was hard to breathe even for a few minutes as a volunteer, yet responders were there 24/7 in search, rescue, recovery, and site safety work. 

I’ve been riding with Livestrong for years, first virtually together during the pandemic, then through my own cancer, and in team fundraising challenges in Austin, NYC and RAGBRAI. I ride with my fiance Scott—my husband by the time we start this ride—who is also a cancer survivor and advocate. We ride in memory and in honor of loved ones lost. And to support families facing cancer.

I've committed to raising funds as our group of first responders and cancer survivors/advocates rides 343 miles, to honor the 343 fallen responders, support the survivors, and stand with those who still fight battles most of us never see, including cancer, trauma, and the toll of years spent serving others.

Please help me support this cause by making a donation through my page, and feel free to send this page to any friends you think might be interested in donating. I can't do this without you!

Help me get one step closer to my goal.
