Battling cancer is a lot like this bike ride. That first day is the hardest, but you push through the pain and continue on the journey.
It is full of ups and down, good days and bad days, laughter and tears. You meet a lot of wonderful people who help you and
inspire you. Your family and friends are there to give you support and love. The trip this summer will be the adventure of a
lifetime, one that changes you forever. I want to dedicate this ride to my grandmother who lost her battle with cancer and to all
the people at the Baltimore Hope Lodge who are courageously battling cancer.

Future goals: I plan to go to medical school and become a pediatric surgeon. Next, I want to win a Nobel Prize and travel the
world to provide care in third-world countries. Then it’s off to retirement on a beach somewhere.
