After 71 days, the Illini 4000 team arrived in San Francisco!  Seventy one days may seem like a long time, but this summer flew by.  It feels like just yesterday I was getting off the subway in New York City with my bike, backpack, and sleeping bag.  I am very grateful for this opportunity because it has allowed me to see the country from a new perspective, form lasting friendships, meet inspiring individuals, and bring awareness to the commonality of cancer.  Thank you to everyone who has supported, hosted, and donated to both myself and the Illini 400o team.  Without your support, we would not be able to complete this ride.
