    The Journey Has Begun

    When I signed up for the Great Cycle Challenge, I knew this ride would be about more than miles.

    It would be about purpose.

    Over the past few days, I’ve officially begun training, and every step reminds me why I chose this challenge.

    So far, I’ve completed my first training runs—including a 3-mile run today—and my first 10-mile bike ride. These may seem like small milestones compared to my goal of riding 170 miles this September, but every journey starts with a single step… and then another.

    I’m riding in memory of my daughter, Kalea.

    Every mile is a way to honor her life, keep her legacy alive, and support children and families who are facing the unimaginable battle against childhood cancer.

    Training won’t always be easy, but I’m committed to showing up, putting in the work, and sharing this journey along the way.

    Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me, followed my progress, or supported this cause. Your kindness reminds me that none of us has to walk—or ride—this journey alone.
