Hi my name is Katie Johnson. I have participated in the Ride For Roswell for 4 years now. I originally got started by being encouraged by a friend to join her in fundraising to help support the cause of ending cancer.
I feel a strong connection to this cause as my mother and grandmother were both diagnosed with cancer in the last two years. My grandmother was unfortunately confirmed that she had breast cancer in 2021. She went through a couple months of radiation therapy and has since been been announced cancer-free. My mother was diagnosed with melanoma a year or two ago. She got the cancer removed and she now has also been cleared.
Due to these two experiences within my family, I feel a close connection to fundraising for this cause. Thank you!
