Why are you interested in riding the Giretto d'Italia? When my Dad asked me if I wanted to go to Italy to ride in front of the Giro D’Italia, there were a lot of things that ran through my head: How can I leave my children for that long? In this economy, who can afford a trip to Italy? On the other hand, this is an opportunity of a lifetime to ride among the pros and in such a beautiful country; how can I pass it up? One question I wasn’t asking was whether or not I would be able to ride 415 miles in 4 days. I know I can do it. I’ve trained hard and this is what I was waiting for; for an opportunity to prove our training, to test my commitment and mental focus. Ever since my first century last year I’ve completely fallen in love with long distance events. This is 4 times the distance I’ve ever ridden before, and it’s early in the season, but I’m up for the challenge.

Message to her supporters: Not only am I riding for the love of the sport but I am also riding for a great cause; raising awareness and funds for the fight against cancer. This will be a testament that ordinary people can do extraordinary things, through passion and determination. Please join me on this journey by sponsoring me today, and become a part of something greater than all of us. I in turn will promise to share with you all of the experiences that this road brings to us. No matter what, I will be motivated to keep going, knowing that you’re behind me all the way.
