We Did It!

We did it!! This past Saturday my dad and I rode 50 miles in the Pelotonia to help raise money for cancer research. After training all spring and summer long, when I rode through the finish line I felt so proud of myself and my dad’s accomplishment! Fifty miles was no walk in the park, but it was a lot of fun and the entire experience was worth all of the aches and pains I felt afterwards. 

I knew going into the ride that I was doing my part in helping to fight a terrible disease, and I knew I was getting a great workout in, but what I experienced was so much more than that. The entire route was filled with people cheering with bells and signs of encouragement and thanks, and all I could hear and see was an outpouring of love and gratitude. It was a very emotional and heartwarming experience and one that I will never forget. 

I want to thank everyone who supported not only my ride, but everyone else’s and helping us all reach our goal. No matter what the amount you gave someone, it really makes a huge difference. To my fellow riders, I feel blessed to have rode along side you because without your love and comradery we wouldn’t be a step closer to ending this disease. Thank you all.
