From El Tour to Today: Continuing the Race Against Blindness

A few years ago, El Tour shared our story — not as a headline or a statistic, but as a family navigating something we never expected. 💛 At the time, we were just beginning what would become A Race Against Blindness . We were learning, building, and trying to move quickly in a space where time feels incredibly personal.

Back on the Bike — and Back Where This Began This weekend, I’ll be riding in El Tour de Zona , a multi-day cycling experience through Southern Arizona. It’s not a race. There’s no podium, no finish-line pressure. It’s something better — time on the bike, time in community, and time to reflect. If you’ve never heard of El Tour de Zona, it’s a three-day cycling tour that showcases the beauty of Southern Arizona while bringing together riders of all levels. It’s about the experience, not the outcome — and that feels especially meaningful this time around. 👉 Learn more about El Tour de Z
