This summer will be my third time participating in the Hopkins 4K For Cancer, and I will be riding for my Mother, Gayle Snow, who is a breast cancer surviver, as well as for my grandfather, Robert Snow, who passed away from cancer last fall. My experiences with Hopkins 4K For Cancer have taught me many things about myself, about others, and about life itself. Among the many lessons I've learned are that every journey has its ups and downs, but that in the end the satisfaction of achieving your greatest goals greatly outweighs the pain and difficulty along the way. I've learned that every individual has it within him or herself to change the world. I've learned, and relearned many times, that all great accomplishments are just a series of small steps done with persistence and focus.
