BIOGRAPHY
Hi everyone! My name is Veronica and I am currently a freshman studying psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have a deep passion for art and I love to dance. In my free time I enjoy ice skating, painting with watercolors, and spending time with my friends and family. Growing up, I spent many of my summers in Ukraine visiting relatives and developed a love for traveling. This is one of the reasons I am so excited to be a part of Illini 4000. I am really looking forward to bike across the country while supporting the fight against cancer!
PERSONAL STATEMENT
I've known of Illini 4000 for a while now, since my sister was a rider a few years back. However, I was motivated to join the team in honor of my Godfather who passed away last year from cancer. I want to dedicate this ride to him. Rest easy Ivan, I love you.
