This is one of the most difficult bike rides I have done and keep doing.  It is personal and brings memories of amazing friends and family members who were diagnosed with cancer. 

This year in June I am participating again in the Ride for Roswell bike ride with the Trane Technologies team as a team Captain. 

I am doing it in memory of incredible people who touched my life and left footprints forever. Terry Lucier, grandma Maria, Violeta Paskova, Ludmil Georgiev and many others.

I am riding in honor of the friends that are cancer free now, Michelle, David, Pat, my mom's friend Maria, Maureen, and the brave souls I know personally that are facing it right now Liz who had surgery in June at Roswell Park and my uncle Vesko who had a surgery in May in Bulgaria.

Respect and gratitude to the people I know that have dedicated their lives, skills and energy working on cancer preventing, treating or finding cure: Jennie, Gary, Sylvia, Chuck, and late Marilyn.

Funds raised through The Ride support cutting-edge research and compassionate, innovative patient care programs at Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

Heartfelt thank you for your support.
