A Ride Through Nature’s Whisper

What a wonderful day to be outdoors. Cycling is never a silent ride—the wind roars, birds chatter, the sun beams brightly, and my breath falls into a steady rhythm. Along the way, I spotted turtles basking in the sun, passed through pockets of sweet grass scent, and felt the sudden shift of a colder breeze. Surrounded by breathtaking views and my own thoughts, I found myself deeply grateful for nature’s gifts and lessons.

First ride in the books

Training has truly paid off—my legs are ready for a longer ride. If the weather holds, this year’s ride is going to be incredible.

During today’s ride, I found myself reflecting on Stephanie and her family—their strength, their resilience. I could feel Stephanie’s presence with me. At one point, as I spoke to the wind, a flock of doves rose from the trees. It was a breathtaking moment, a powerful reminder that our ancestors are always with us.

Riding in loving memory of Dr. Stephanie Hassan Richardson.

And her niece is a superhero too!

September is just around the corner and my rides in honor of Stephanie are for the kids and families who are impacted. This little gem is Stephanie’s niece who is so full of light! She is a survivor of what we are riding to end. To Daly, keep going strong and being an inspiration to us all little superhero! Everyone meet Daly Crum! A pre-k scholar who is so brave she can teach us all a thing or two!!!

Let’s ride!

Tribute Day: Honoring the Life and Legacy of Dr. Stephanie Hassan Richardson

An extraordinary educator, devoted mother, cherished daughter, beloved sister, loyal friend—and so much more. Today, we pause to reflect on the profound impact she has had on all who knew and loved her.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors for making this moment possible. Displaying Stephanie’s image on Broadway is a beautiful tribute that means the world to her family and friends.

One pedal at a time.

Seven forever.

Road to Superhero impact for the kids.

Seven Forever: Honoring Dr. Stephanie Hassan Richardson

Stephanie was absolutely loved and cherished by her family. I’ve been blessed to connect with her sister, Natalie, and she has shared some amazing photos of Stephanie and of family too!

I think it is fair to say we are all excited to see Stephanie’s photo go up in tomorrow’s tribute day billboard in Time Square but overall celebrating her all month long while I take the challenge of rising $2500 and riding 200 miles in her honor.

We got this Hassan-Richardson family!
