Hi, I'm Samantha. I'm 21 years old, and I'm fundraising for the UCSF Epilepsy Fund, which is in San Francisco, California. I'm originally from Loma Linda, California, but now I live in Texas. For my birthday, I always do something fun with friends, such as going to Activate, which is a mini game place that all my friends and I went to last year for my birthday, or having a movie night! However, this year I want to do something different and more personal. I recently lost my only brother, Adam, due to Epilepsy. This has been a hard loss for me and my whole family. This year, I would like to raise money for the UCSF Epilepsy Fund for my birthday

How am I doing this? Through Cyclebar! Since April of 2025, I have been interested in Indoor Cycling. When I found out that they do charity rides, I was excited and knew exactly what I wanted to do for my birthday! It doesn't matter to me how many people come; I just want to be surrounded by the community I have built here in Texas and celebrate my birthday with great people while fundraising for a cause I'm deeply passionate about, and just continue taking my brother with me wherever I go! I am going to have a Fundraiser ride through Cyclebar Waterside in Fort Worth, Texas, on November 9th at 3 pm, so if you're making it to that, can't wait to see you! For those who cannot join us in person but would like to donate, please send your donation here, and I will send it to UCSF epilepsy fund
