The way I see it, my purpose in life is to have a positive impact on every place that I visit. It doesn't take an extraordinary talent to change lives; it requires only the motivation to encourage others in their struggles. With this philosophy, traveling across the country and spreading awareness of the danger of cancer makes sense. Cancer has affected my own family just as it has affected many families across the country, and we should all do our part in arming others in the battle against it. From Baltimore to SanFrancisco, communities share the terrible commonality of being scarred by the effects of the disease, and we can use this common thread to work together. I look forward to doing just that with my fellow 4kers as we ride across the country fro all of the people who are involved in the fight against cancer.
