On my bike ride of life, in 2011, I encountered a climb I never anticipated. The climb consisted of Heartache Hill, Living with Leukemia Valley, Chemo Holy Water Descent, Bone Marrow Transplant Bump, and Graft vs. Host Disease Grade. I was fortunate to have family, friends, and a bicycle to support me. I learned there are people who are not so lucky. 

I have been cancer-free for 6 years and it's my time to help those who are less fortunate than me, to offer help - SAG support - to those who have been diagnosed with Leukemia. 

My campaign is called "Best Me Today---Ride Across America 2020", where I plan to ride my bicycle across American to raise awareness and money for people with Leukemia. Please consider joining me in my quest!!  This is the first of two separate campaigns to support this vision. The purpose of this campaign is to raise monies to pay for logistical needs such as: 

Shelter/Transportation Vehicle 
Food
Cycling food
Cycling Maintenance Supplies
Everyday Cycling needs, clothes, chamois butter, sunscreen, etc.

If you would like to donate physical items such as cliff bars, cliff shot blocks, scratch electrolytes, gu, tires, tubes, co2, chain lube, chamois butter, cycling clothes, gas cards, grocery store gift cards, or REI gift cards you can mail these items to:
 
Best Me Today---Bike Ride Across America
1405 Clubhouse Drive,
Aptos, CA 95003

If it is best for you to send well wishes and prayers towards this endeavor, please do! I am forever grateful for your positive thoughts. 

My bike helped save my life and together, we can help save the lives of others.

Thank you for consideration,

Melissa A. Puckett
