On September 6th, I'll be participating in my fifth Closer to Free Ride, a 100-mile journey to support cancer research and care at Smilow Cancer Hospital and Yale Cancer Center. This ride isn't just a cause I support- it's personal. 2 years ago, I got a phone call from my mother that will live with me forever when she told me she had cancer. As her battle will continue throughout her life, I feel that this ride will make a very big impact on how we fight this together. Even though when I started this ride 5 years ago, I really wanted to help others beat cancer but now that my mother has this battle, I'm even more determined than ever to make a difference.
