Remembering each beautiful moment, cherishing her short time on Earth and knowing our angel is always with us, gets me through each day missing my great niece. Never understanding why but trusting that we will be together again. Her memory lives on.

My Story

15 Sep 2025

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

Faced my fear

22 Sep 2025

So happy completed two 40+ minute rides this week … here being the first! Two years ago, I fell off my bike outdoors and haven’t been back on til now! I feel so grateful I moved past my fear enough to try once again. The ride felt great. So freeing … happy to help the kids who need us. I did it! Reached our first goal now onto 100 miles!

Aqua Cycling

13 Sep 2025

Do you know I have osteoarthritis, and I’ve learned that to keep moving is the best thing. Movement is medicine, and the pool adds even more benefits—low to no impact while still getting the heart rate up. cardio is so important too. Finding ways to get that in is challenging.

Today’s aqua cycling helped me get in more miles for The Great Cycle Challenge while keeping mobility and cardiovascular health in check. 💙🚴‍♀️💦

Love your body enough to discover new ways to move. As we age—or when injuries happen—always find what feels good for your body and mind. Never give up. You are worth it. Live a healthier lifestyle.
