Across the finish line!

I crossed the finish line of my month long virtual Tour de Pink with 65.8 miles today. Over the past three days I have ridden 123.05 miles. My grand total for the YSC Tour de Pink is 568.56 miles. I cannot believe I completed that many miles in 33 days.

This has been an amazing journey. I have learned that I have a lot more strength than I thought. I know now that all of the hard work and time I have put in over the last year has paid off. Not only am I healthier (and 70+ lbs lighter!) but I have personally taken a big step in preventing Breast Cancer. With a family history of Breast Cancer it is not only important that I get a yearly physical but I need to take good care of myself staying at a healthy weight and eating right.

As of today I have raised $1065 of my $1500 fundraising goal. (I’m able to accept donations until the end of October.) Thank you to everyone for your support, encouragement and donations. I want say a special thank you to James for the extra help over the last month so I could go for long rides and even ride to/from work once a week.

Thank you again! I hope to do this again next year!!

My original riding goal was 300 miles and when I hit that on the 19th James suggested I try to reach 500 miles. I thought he was totally crazy but decided to give it a try.

Yesterday I completed 30 miles putting me just 24.49 miles away from 500 miles. So when I headed out this morning (a chilly one I must add) with no real plan on where I was going to ride I knew at some point I would reach it. I was almost home passing the Shady Side Peninsula sign when I hit 500 miles. Of course being me I totally started crying. All the encouragement and support I have received from everyone has been absolutely amazing and it all came flooding over me.

Tomorrow I will complete my last ride with James. We are planning on completing 50 miles! I hope my legs and body can hang in just a bit longer.

Thank you everyone for your support and donations - I have raised $1030 of my $1500 goal!!
