This year we are riding for Mackenzie, our team pedal partner. From our team page:

She's 21 years old and has the biggest smile and most positive attitude of any 21-year-old we've met. Mackenzie was diagnosed with Metastatic Ewing Sarcoma in February of 2018. She began treatment in early March 2018 and had surgery in June to remove a tumor in her leg. She has become quite a pro at walking on crutches as she's been doing so for close to a year!

Mackenzie completed her last round of chemo in November and radiation in December 2018. As she says it's one day at a time right now, but is very optimistic and has big plans for her future.

To quote her, The Jimmy Fund clinic was my source of hope when I was given the scariest news of my entire life. From the moment I stepped foot in the waiting room I knew it was special. There was never a time at the clinic where I felt as though I was alone or I was a lost cause. Because of the Jimmy Fund I want to get my Masters degree in Social Work and work with pediatric oncology patients and their families through their hardest times.

You, Mackenzie are a Rock Star ?! And we are so proud to be riding for you this year.

In addition to Mackenzie, I'll be riding in support of someone I only recently found out has been diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma. He hasn't told many people about this yet, so this is all I'll say for the time being.
