For A Future Without Cancer
For A Future Without Cancer
Journal
A living record of the road before, during, and after the expedition
This journal begins before the first kilometre.
Here, I will share the preparation, the training rides, the doubts, the small victories, the people I meet, and the moments that shape the road ahead.

A place for memory, adventure, grief, love, hope, and the long road towards a future without cancer.
