I'm riding for everyone at Hope Lodge. I did the trip during the summer of 2004 but had to take a hiatus from Ohio to Kansas due to illness. I feel as if I still owe it to everyone who sponsored me the first time around to do the trip again. When it came time to pick who to ride for, I really had no clue what to do because so many people I know have been impacted by cancer. Then, at the first Hope Lodge event of the year, we were doing the traditional "introduce yourself game" and it really hit me, I wanted to ride for everyone that I have met at Hope Lodge. This is my third year being involved with the 4K and Hope Lodge, and it has truly changed my life. I am thrilled to have a chance to know everyone at Hope Lodge, and to ride for them.

Future Goals:
In 10 years I will have a law degree. I will not be working for a huge law firm. I would like to do work involving social/health justice/ethics.

Major: Philosophy
