Vicky is preparing for this journey by training on her bike, and by gaining support through her blog: http://www.unlimited-smileage.com. Scroll down to see how she's preparing for the journey ahead and why it's important for her to do this.
Here is an excerpt from the Personal Journal blog she wrote for Facing Cancer Together about her new mission:
"The journey of a lifetime begins with me, and you. I am a survivor from a family that has been touched multiple times by cancer. I have been involved as an activist/advocate for many years, for many causes, and with many organizations. In all those years I have noticed a theme; so many people want to be able to make a difference in someone's life but feel like they have nothing to offer.
I am here to tell you that not only can you make a difference, but that the answer is right under your nose, won't cost you a dime, and has health benefits for you as well as the person you give it to. I know because I have seen this gift in action, I have been the giver and the receiver. It is your smile!"
