WELCOME! I started this website in 2019 and am happy to say that I am still alive in 2025 to give the site a long overdue update.

TEAL on WHEELS is the biggest thing I have ever accomplished in my life. The idea for me in 2019 turned out to be my grandest adventure—riding a motorcycle across the United States while dealing with a stage IV ovarian cancer diagnosis. It sounds crazy, but it was something I just had to do—and I had to do it alone.

In the end, I rode 6,198 miles across the country—more than 5,000 miles ridden solo. Within weeks of returning home, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove a tumor from my chest, a spread of my ovarian cancer, first diagnosed in 2016. The tumor in my chest had been biopsied a few months before my trip was slated to begin. I delayed the surgery in order to go on my trip—a decision I have never regretted.

About a year after returning from my TEAL on WHEELS adventure, I began writing a book about my trip and about my cancer journey. In May 2021, my book was published. It’s called FINDING COURAGE: Navigating Cancer on my Harley. To find out more and order your copy: visit my online sales site.
