This event has 2 missions near and dear to my heart- bicycling and cancer support. I was introduced to road bicycling at 15 and it continues to be a part of my lifestyle. I find it restorative for body, mind and spirit and love to share the joy of cycling with others. I am also a 2-time breast cancer survivor, riding in LTDF in 2009 when I was halfway through chemo. As the director of the event, I am on the team that creates the magic, cheers on the ladies and shares in the joy of the community that raises money for organizations that support women through and beyond cancer and the joy of cycling.
