Meet Caroline Day, a long-time rider, now committee member, and member of Lycra for Lucy.
"I got involved with the GearUp4CF ride 11 years ago when our friend Lucy Mittler was diagnosed with this disease when she was only a few weeks old. We started the Lycra for Lucy team shortly afterwards as a way to let Lucy & her family know that we cared & wanted to support what they were going through via fundraising.
11 years later I’m still riding to support Lucy and to help raise funds for CF research and advocacy efforts. I hope our efforts one day soon will help the last 10% of CF patients who can’t access game-changing drugs like Trikafta as well as an actual cure for CF to be discovered.
As a new committee member, my goal is to boost rider participation and raise more funds for CF. I challenge each of you signing up to recruit one new rider. If everyone does this, we’ll double last year’s rider count."
