I would like to thank all my family, family friends, and the rotary clubs of Matteson and Homewood for all their support and generous donations. I would also like to thank my parents for all the money they have spent on my bike and equipment for this summer.It has been really great getting to know everyone on the team at team trainings and other events. Jan, Manny, and I decided to ride bikes home from Champaign for spring break. I had never rode more than 30 miles on a bike so I was surprised I actually made it 83 miles. This made me a little less nervous for the summer. When we weren’t going east into the wind it was a fun ride and great bonding experience. I'm excited for team training rides to begin when we get back from spring break. I can’t wait to spend my whole summer with this amazing team. Only 2 more months until we are on our way across the country!This week my friend Lisa is going through treatments please keep her in your prayers.
