My story starts back in 2010. America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride captured my heart and soul. We came. We rode. We conquered. We raised some money to fight cancer. One and done...or so I thought.
In 2012 a dear friend died from cancer. I got back on my bike the next year, and raised more money.
In 2014 we made a video and eventually grew our local team to more than 40 members.
Between 2013 - 2019 the Portland Area TNT Cycle Team raised more than $1 Million to fight cancer.
Then 2020... and it all came to an abrupt stop.
Last January (2023) I decided that it was time to get off the Lanai! I completed my first Lavaman Olympic Triathlon in March and added another verse to my song Cycle Cure Celebrate. I also lost a dear friend to recurrent cancer on Valentine's Day.
Here we are: 2024. Cancer is still here, and so am I...asking for your support to help find a cure. In the past 9 seasons we've raised more than $75,000. We are now on the 12th verse of our song that includes 2 - triathlons, 1 - half-marathon 8 times cycling around Lake Tahoe.
In April, I will travel to the Big Island of Hawaii again in April to swim, bike and run.
