Pink Flash is back!

Tour de Pink 2015. I'm doing it. And Team Pink and Pearls is BACK!

I decided to take on Tour de Pink again and ride with Sean and Team Pink and Pearls! 

While this year's journey, challenge and experience will differ from my first year, in that I won't be able to put as much training into my ride (we have a baby now!), I still plan to do my absolute best, and ride my absolute hardest, because the cause remains near and dear to my heart. Since my first Tour de Pink in 2013 I have become more involved with the YSC, and when the ride was announced last month it became clear to me that I was going to do this again! 

Please consider supporting me and Team Pink and Pearls as we prepare for this exciting journey!

This year I have made an exciting and challenging commitment to participate in YSC Tour de Pink, a three-day, 200 mile bike ride for breast cancer. I know I can do it with your help encouraging me and supporting me with a donation.

When I rode in my first Tour de Pink in 2013 I conquered more than those 200 miles on my bike; I gained 200 lifelong friends. I became part of an organization that is changing the way we think about breast cancer and how we support those with breast cancer. I joined Tour de Pink, a rolling community that loved and supported me from the first moment they met me. 

Now the Young Survival Coalition and Tour de Pink are an important part of my life. It is my turn to give back. That's why I'm riding.

I'm riding for myself. I'm riding for Kara and Kayla, two TdP riders and young women affected by breast cancer who passed away in the past two years. I'm riding for breast cancer survivors and patients, and their families, friends and support systems. 

And I need your help.

Your donation will go to support Young Survival Coalition and ensure that no young woman faces breast cancer alone. YSC is the premier organization providing supportive services and education resources for young women affected by breast cancer.

YSC Tour de Pink is much more than just a bike ride. It’s a chance to honor survivors, raise awareness and support important programs for young women affected by breast cancer. I hope I can count on you to help me reach my fundraising goal!

How will your donation help?

$25 could fund YSC materials at three healthcare providers’ offices.
$100 could provide a Newly Diagnosed Navigator to six women when they need it most.
$250 could allow us to train four survivors to serve as a peer supporters.
$500 could fund a Young Empowered Survivor (YES) educational program.
$1,200 could pay for two young women to travel to our annual conference for young women affected by breast cancer. 

Any amount helps!

As I train for this amazing ride I plan to update this page frequently along with my social media accounts so that all of my supporters can see my progress.

Thank you in advance for your support. I truly appreciate your generosity.

Life is short and should be celebrated. In October I am going to celebrate life by cycling from Philadelphia to Maryland. 

Every dollar raised and every mile cycled brings us one step closer to ENSURE NO YOUNG WOMAN FACES BREAST CANCER ALONE.

I can. I will.

Do it with me.
