Meeting endurance cyclist Taylor Lideen - Athlete was at the very top of my wish list for our time at Unbound Gravel and today we did just that! Like River, Taylor found peace through cycling but cycling alone wasn't enough. I'll post an interview link in the comments for anyone who wants to know more about Taylor but I wanted to thank him for his advocacy and for being so public and open with his story. I wanted him to know we're proud of him for tackling the stigma - possibly the hardest challenge of all.
Also in the photo are our precious friends Lynn and Kurt Wilson who we met at Unbound last year because Lynn was wearing a t-shirt with the purple and teal prevention ribbon. I knew she had a story to share and that I needed to meet her. The Wilson's lost their son Lance (15) and they share their story through a memorial scholarship fund for students at Lance's high school.
Tomorrow, Taylor and Kurt both will compete in the 200 mile race at Unbound and you better believe we'll be cheering them on!
