“Life takes its dips, but they remind us to keep going, striving to improve on the year before. Challenges aren’t always setbacks. They’re stepping stones leading us toward something greater, even in life’s low moments.”💛🧡💙

🚴♀️ “The rain may slow me down, but it will never stop me. Every drop fuels my drive. Every setback strengthens my stride. I will cross that finish line because purpose rides with me.” 🌧️
As August winds down, so does another year of my Great Cycle Challenge ride. 🚴🏾♀️ This month has been filled with ups, downs, unexpected weather, and even some personal challenges—but every pedal forward has been worth it.
As I reflect on this year’s challenge, one truth remains: Every journey begins with the decision to start, but it’s the choice to keep going that defines the victory.
Thank you for cheering me on, for believing in me, and for joining me in this fight for little hearts and brave souls. 💙🧡 Together, we ride for hope.
Every pedal pushes me closer. 20km stronger today. Nothing breaks my stride. I rise with faith, with fight, with fire—for little hearts to keep beating strong. 💙🧡💛
We can never predict how a day will turn out... just like today with the on-and-off rain. It made it hard to know the right time to ride, but I took a chance anyway. That’s what riding and life are about. Stepping forward even when the conditions aren’t perfect. The rain eventually stops, and the journey always moves forward.
Every kilometer I’ve traveled holds a memory, a challenge, and a victory. Some miles have been uphill battles, testing my strength and willpower. Others have been smooth and peaceful, allowing me to breathe deeply and take in the beauty around me.
They say don’t look back, but I say we should. Because those experiences didn’t hold us back… they pushed us forward. They shaped who we are. Remembering isn’t dwelling. It's honouring the journey.

The true beauty of each journey is not measured by the distance covered, but rather by the consistency of effort.
It lies in the determination to overcome every challenge encountered, regardless of its size or difficulty. Rise to the occasion and triumph.
The core of this endeavor lies in the strength of one's spirit, the right mental attitude, and the power of dedication.
Whether it involves a 5K, 10K, or even a 20K distance or more, the focus is not solely on the distance traveled.
It is about the purpose that drives each push of the pedal. P.U.S.H.
Pursue. Until. Something. Happens.
