Ride Without Limits

23 miles in Bryce Canyon...What's your limitation?

As you all know, I love to ride my bicycle (I can hear Freddie Mercury right about now). I also love helping others any way I can. One of my favorite things to do is talk to groups about my story thereby allowing them to question their perceived limitation. I have been extremely blessed in my life to question my own perceived limitations, break them down, and accomplish things that I never dared dream.

Ten years ago I was working construction with my father with no real plans for the future. College was out of the question; how was a person going to get though college if they can't even write? Plus, college took brains, of which I was lacking of course. Now, I am at one the top Universities in the world pursuing a PhD in biochemistry. What changed? With help from others, I was given the opportunity to take a sledge hammer to the perceptions that were entrenched in my mind. Given my life experiences, I have a deep passion to assist, in any way I can, to bring those same life-altering opportunities to people with disabilities.

Ride Without Limits is a beautiful marriage between my two loves, cycling and helping others. This is a charity ride that raises money for United Cerebral Palsy (UCP), an organization whose sole purpose is to provide opportunities to children and adults with disabilities. Each individual they assist has a very different set of challenges that need to be addressed; UCP can provide the specialized service required by each child and adult. These services can be life-altering for these very courageous people.

Exactly what I look like on the bike!

As a rider I need to raise money to ride in this event. How much, you may ask. Last year I raised just over $2,000, which was totally awesome! This year I am setting the bar high; my goal in $3,000. I believe I can do this! I will be riding the 100 mile ride in September, giving me a total of four months to reach my goal. What I am asking is a donation of whatever you can spare! Whether you can donate or not I ask that spread the word. Please send the link to this post to all your family and friends. Use Facebook, Twitter, Google+, your personal blog, church bulletin, company news letter, etc. Most importantly bring it up in conversation and show your own passion for such an awesome cause!
