PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge

I'll be honest—I wasn't a cyclist when I started this journey. But I was determined to make a difference for kids who needed it most. So I dove in headfirst, training hard day after day, for nine solid months, pushing through every physical and mental challenge that came my way.

That grit paid off. I qualified for an incredible 5-day bike ride from Zurich to Venice, Italy, raising funds for Street Child—an amazing nonprofit that gives vulnerable children access to education and the support they deserve.—including the opportunity to ride Stage 1 with the GOAT of cycling, Tadej Pogačar and his partner, Urška Žigart.

This experience taught me something important: when I commit to something meaningful, I give it everything I've got. Whether it's conquering a mountain pass on two wheels or tackling a tough project at work, I bring that same determination and resilience to see it through.
