Long bike ride from Eureka to chemo

[From The Patch]

It’s already a long trip from Nicole Nada’s home in Eureka to see her doctor in Greenbrae. Her next trip is going to take a lot longer.

Nicole is planning to embark on a bike trip, beginning in Eureka on May 15 and ending at the Marin Cancer Institute in Greenbrae on May 21, just in time for her first round of chemotherapy.

What a way to arrive. She’s blogging about her journey on her site www.kickingmycancer.com.

“Why the ride? Three reasons, most importantly for myself — I love to cycle and be active and it seemed like the perfect way to arrive at chemotherapy, something I am not crazy about receiving, but know I need,” Nicole said. “My blood will be pumping, and I will feel healthy and strong going into it and that is important to me. Then, to inspire others if they need/want inspiration, and lastly to raise some funds for two wonderful organizations.”
