-What is my personal motivation for the C2C4C ride?

In my near family (until now) has not been affected by a fatal cancer case. I am grateful because I know that this is due to the modern methods and instruments to detect and prevent the development of a deadly Malignancy. Where would the modern medicine be if we did not invest in scientific research? With my ride I want to support and contribute to the development of modern medicine particularly in cancer research.

-Do I dedicate my participation to someone special?

I know I am very lucky because almost all families have a sad cancer case. So I dedicate my participation to all patients who heard the devastating diagnosis “cancer” in particular the children and their parents.

-How did I train?

I started to train almost every day in April. Unfortunately, I had to pause because I had an accident in May which made me lose 6 weeks of training. But my motivation is strong and now I am getting back on track with my training on the bike, running and stretching. I am very happy because a colleague in my team who participated in C2C4C before is willing to help and support me. I am so grateful that she dedicates her time.

-What challenges do I prepare myself for and what’s my recommendation for mindset preparation?

I have never been on a running bike before. I was really very afraid, and I even had an accident where I broke my hand. But I realized that fear is a mindset that you must overcome. Now my hand has healed, and I will continue with the training. When I am on the bike I try to concentrate on the goal and the success and not of the potential danger the of the speed and the clipless pedals.
