Im participating with 305ycle’s 2021 Key West ride, where we are riding from Brickell to Key West(170 MILES) in ONE DAY, and to add to it… we are riding at 12am(obv with precautious). If you know me, you know that I'm a grandma and struggle to stay up after midnight! I am definitely pushing my limits since the longest ride I have ridden was 134 miles (Brickell->Naples) so adding 35 miles will be painfully fun woohoo. As much as I love challenging myself, I have come to realize that is quite selfish (Yes, some selfishness is good) but I need to have more meaning in my challenges. I am so excited we, 305ycle, are raising money to support Florida Heart Research Foundation! The Florida Heart Research Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit 501c3 that awards and grants funds to support their mission: To Stop Heart Disease through Research, Education, and Prevention. As a Nutrition Master’s student, I have come to value research because that builds the foundation for public policies and outreach programs. Help me reach my min goal of $170 ($1 per mile) and let's do this challenge! I’ll come up with creative ways to say thank you to those who donated more than $10, $20, etc. I would love to place the names who donated more than $10 on my water bottles… we shall see. Thank you so much for supporting this cause and my challenge!
