I discovered my deep-rooted passion for the Arthritis Foundation along the scenic and challenging route of the California Coast Classic bike tour, a journey that spans breathtaking landscapes and offers a unique perspective on the beauty of the coastline.

Pedaling alongside dedicated supporters, inspirational honorees, and incredible volunteers was truly life-changing, as each mile brought new stories of courage and resilience. These individuals, each with their own unique experiences and connections to arthritis, shared their personal journeys, struggles, and triumphs, which continue to fuel my determination to make a difference. Their unwavering spirit and commitment to overcoming the challenges posed by arthritis inspire me every day to contribute to this cause. Read more about my personal "Story of YES."

The Arthritis Foundation is launching its 2nd national destination bike tour in 2025, the Carolina Hills Classic. It will start in Greenville, SC and travel 250 miles across the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, it's more important than ever to bring support back to the mountains. Learn more about the event from this FOX Carolina Story.
