We are riding for my big sister, Alicia-a true fighter and an inspiration in every sense of the word. She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at just 8 years old, a genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system and requires daily, lifelong treatments. CF has no cure, only management, and it asks more of the people who live with it than most of us can imagine.

After years of relentless treatments, hospital stays, and unwavering strength, Alicia reached a turning point that saved her life: a double lung transplant. This year, she proudly celebrates five years with her new lungs-five years of borrowed breaths, renewed hope, and a second chance at life made possible by organ donation and medical advancement.

Living with CF means every day is intentional. It means perseverance through setbacks, gratitude for progress, and courage in the face of uncertainty. Alicia embodies all of that and more. She continues to show us what resilience looks like, proving that even when life is hard, it is still worth fighting for.

We ride to honor her journey, to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis, and to support continued research so that one day CF will no longer define childhoods or limit futures. We ride for Alicia-and for everyone still waiting for their miracle
