This summer, I’m taking on one of the toughest bike races in North America—the Leadville 100 in Leadville, Colorado. It’s a grueling 106-mile course with over 10,000 feet of elevation gain, all starting at 10,000 feet above sea level. But I’m not just racing for the challenge. I’m riding to raise awareness and funds for The White Line.

The White Line was founded in honor of Magnus White, a talented young American cyclist who was tragically killed by a driver while out training. The organization is dedicated to advocating for changing driver behavior through real stories, hard data and life saving technology.

This cause hits close to home for me. I was nearly killed by a high driver during a training ride. I spent a week in a coma, another in the ICU, and a year in rehab. The driver faced almost no consequences. My love for cycling and my sense of freedom on the bike was forever changed.

Through this fundraiser, I hope to support The White Line’s important mission and spark more conversations about how urgently we need reform to keep everyone safe on our roads.

Help me make every mile count. Donate, share, and spread the word.
