BIOGRAPHY
Hello! My name is Adam Wallach, and I am a Junior studying Mechanical Engineering. I am a part of the Fighting Illini Triathlon Club, and I hope to start doing full Ironman Triathlons sometime in the next few years. I look forward to improving my biking ability while still getting some running in on the trip. Besides triathlon, some of my passions include playing chess, disc golf, frisbee, and hiking. I'm super excited to be a part of the Bike America Illini 4000 team and see the country while supporting a great cause!
PERSONAL STATEMENT
I am doing Illini 4000 to have a once in a lifetime experience, open my eyes to the cancer experience throughout the country, and join the fight against cancer. My mom had her own fight against breast cancer in 2018. She had many great support groups, and I would like to pay it forward by fundraising. I would also like to inspire her and other members of my family to bike and stay active.
