Athletics
Basketball
I’ve been playing basketball for as long as I can remember, and I don’t see myself ever stopping! I play about 3-4 times a week as a point guard, shooting guard, and small forward on the Varsity team for my school and compete in tournaments all over the world. My team got silver in the Macabee tournament!
Cycling
An ankle injury prevented me from playing basketball so I turned to cycling for physical therapy and cardio. I would never have expected the sport to become as important to me as it has. One day, I decided to do a 180 mile ride to raise money for pediatric cancer research through an organization called Bike for Chai (Life). I was the youngest rider they have ever allowed in to the race and I had to get special permission to enter. I raised $10,000 and I ended up finishing in record time (without any prior training!), arriving at the finish line with 3 Tour de France cyclists. I plan to ride in Bike for Chai every year!
