6 Years Riding for Kids + 8 Days Down the California Coast

Hi Guys! ☀️

I hope everyone is having an amazing summer 2026 as we're still in the thick of it!

I know I've been a little quiet, but I've been busy writing (Medium Platform), creating, becoming a published poet, and working on a few projects, including my upcoming podcast. I am a one woman show, right now. More on all of that soon. 😊

But first...I'm back cycling! (no surprise, lol) 🚴🏽‍♀️

6Years Riding for Kids - Help Me Get to Times Square (Again!)

This September marks my 6th year riding the Great Cycle Challenge to help kids fighting cancer. And with your support, I'm hoping to make it onto the Times Square Jumbotron for the 4th year in a row! (Who knew a cyclist like me would make it on to the jumbotron in New York City -- mind blowing!)

And I'm not stopping there!

From September 26 - October 3, I'll take on the California Coast Classic Bike Tour. Eight days of cycling along the California Coast - highway 1 while raising funds for the Arthritis Foundation.

My goal is to raise $4,000 and I would love your support.

For my business friends and supporters, I'd also love to highlight your business and website on my fundraising page when you sponsor my ride.

And as I work on bringing my podcast to life, I'm looking forward to highlighting some of the wonderful local businesses, community members, friends, and supporters I've connected with along the way. If you have a story, business, or community work you'd like me to know more about, please reach out, I'd love to stay connected and explore ways to feature and support one another. There is much more coming, so stay tuned. 🎙️✨

SAVE THE DATE!
