I needed some motivation and "why" to ride 118 miles and climb 30k feet in elevation in one day. Raising money for the Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance was it. I couldn't let down the family and friends who donated on my behalf to the ONLY organization in the US dedicated to my weirdo 15% breast cancer subtype (15% of all breast cancers isn't that small a number, but you wouldn't know it based on the research and publications in this specialized area). Thank you to everyone who supported our ride, thank you as always to my husband and partner in all crimes Brian, and thank you to my body for showing up and getting it done on July 22.
My journey with lobular breast cancer, stage IIB (2021) and non-hodgkin's lymphoma (2026). 9/11 responder, 5x ironman, ER doc, lover of all animals and things outdoors.
