Moral Support

Being an athlete demands dedication to sport, training and recovery, not only while on the bike, but also during every other hour of the day. To do so without the compassion, support and inspiration of loved ones would be impossible.

David Pierce: My boyfriend of over two years, David has been my steadfast supporter and partner from the start. When I first began cycling, he offered tactical insight in every race I did, his guidance accelerating my progression through the ranks. I would not be where I am without him. He remains patient and understanding through all of my ups and downs and is a constant source of strength and encouragement.

Atman and Carolyn Rais: My parents are my biggest fans and supporters. I would say this is obvious, but I know this is not always the case for athletes. I am deeply grateful for their patience, enthusiasm and guidance, and especially for their emotional support during all of the highs and lows over the years. Their unwavering support has been the foundation for many of my successes, both on and off the bike.
