Personal Statement
Many of my family members have been heavily impacted by cancer. I really struggle to talk about cancer and want to learn what it is like for people that have experienced it. Medical bills, family, and social impacts all make cancer an even harder struggle. I hope to be able to help out those who are struggling with cancer, all while doing one of my favorite things: cycling!
