Zebra Gives

Reflecting on the journey I’ve been on with Zebra Technologies and the incredible GCC, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. Wearing my “Zebra Gives” jersey feels like the perfect way to honor not just the company, but the incredible community it fosters. 💪

This challenge isn’t just about physical activity—it's about supporting others, prioritizing wellness, and building strong, meaningful connections. I’m especially thankful for the people I’ve met along the way and the constant encouragement I receive from all levels of the company. From teammates to leaders, the support has been steadfast. 🙌

I was inspired to join this challenge four years ago by a friend and teammate, and since then, it’s been a fun journey swapping stories, pushing ourselves, and working toward individual and collective Team Zebra Technologies goals. 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

One of the highlights each year is the group ride hosted by Zebra, where we use our Volunteer Time Off to get together, log some miles, and network with other Zebras we might not work with directly. It’s a chance to connect outside of our usual roles—and have fun while doing it! 🌟

While we’ve yet to hit our company-wide goal, I’ll keep pushing, because I believe in the power of community and the strength of our Zebra team! 🦓

Here’s to pushing forward—together! 💙🧡

Gratitude for Kick Cancer's Butt Day

Every year I am genuinely touched by the generosity of my family, friends and the network of my loved ones who support me through this month - not just the donations, but also the encouragement along the way. I am also so grateful for the sponsors who match online donations on Kick Cancer's Butt Day up to $1,500, 000. I did a 15.5 mile ride that evening and all the love felt throughout the day inspired me to tackle that hard workout and ride strong with purpose.

$1,850, 036 was raised to fight kids' cancer this year. That means, 81.08% of what I raised on Wednesday was matched, that match being $944! INCREDIBLE! All the support I've received so far, and now this generous match, has pushed me way past my initial goal. THANK YOU! I still have miles to pedal, so I'm not stopping yet. I will continue to ride through the month and share my progress. Thank you for joining me on this ride and taking action to kick cancer's butt!

2025, here we go! Week 1 Done!

It is no secret that I love a good challenge and working out. However, fundraising terrifies me. Admittedly, I questioned doing this challenge this year. I was feeling a bit tired and burnt out lately. I just couldn't step back on this one though. I've lost many, have seen so many, and continue to see people I love bravely fight cancer. I can't imagine going through that with a child. How could I NOT try to help change little lives while I do what I love? So, here we go 2025!

First week recap: This year, I'm doing fewer rides with higher mileage. This past week was a mix of swimming, biking and running. My biking miles for Week 1 totaled at 47 miles. 20 miles were done on the indoor trainer early in the week. I ran with an amazing friend who is also fundraising (for another cause) yesterday and was a little nervous about my ride today. However, the mission of this Challenge gave me purpose to stay strong and knock out two hours on the bike trainer. My legs are toast, but they'll recover and I'll be back at it next week. As I reflect while closing out Week 1, I recognize I would have been upset if I hadn't participated this year. I'm glad I joined Team Zebra Technologies again to participate and I am so grateful for all of the support. THANK YOU for being a part of this ride!
