My Story
Hello friends,
Hope you’re all doing magnificently!
A huge thank you to everyone who supported me during my 4th and final AIDS/LifeCycle ride this past June. Together, we raised nearly $5,000 to support vital HIV/AIDS services—thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏🏾
Now, looking ahead…
On September 1st, I kick off my 5th year riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to help kids fight cancer. This is a cause close to my heart, and I need your help to reach my goal.
Let’s ride for the kids. Let’s make impact together.
With gratitude,
Vanessa

Five Years, Three Times on a Times Square Billboard — All for Kids Fighting Cancer 🚴🏽♀️🫶🏽
30 Sep 2025Happy September 29, 2025!
This month I set out to ride 150 miles through the Great Cycle Challenge to support kids fighting cancer. Not only did I hit my goa, I went beyond it. I rode 161 miles, and thanks to incredible support, I raised $1,655 — over three times my $500 goal.
This marks my fifth year riding with the Great Cycle Challenge, and to my surprise, my face appeared on the Times Square billboard for the third time. Who knew I’d see myself up there—not as a model for a big fashion brand or product, but for something far more meaningful: showing support and respect for kids fighting cancer.
For me, cycling isn’t just about the miles. It’s about resilience, community, and riding with purpose. This journey continues to remind me that when passion meets persistence, we can create impact far beyond our expectations. 🚴🏽♀️✨
I’d love to connect with others who are passionate about making a difference—whether through cycling, community work, or simply spreading inspiration.
Thank you who supported me and helped make this possible.
With warm gratitude,
Vanessa 🚴🏽♀️🫶🏽🎉
