The other day I wrote about someone from El Paso on a bicycle. Today, I am going to write about another such cyclist, though she's not nearly as well-known.
The other day, I wrote about Beto O'Rourke--who, outside of his home state, wasn't much better-known than the woman I'm going to mention today.
While O'Rourke might be thinking about surviving a primary challenge next year, Sylvia Alvara is surviving something far more formidable: cancer.
And, if you will, she, like O'Rourke is hoping to ride to victory on a bicycle. Actually, the fact that she is riding a bicycle is a victory, though she probably doesn't see it that way. That might be the reason she's taking on a greater challenge: the Mighty Mujer triathlon.
To help make that possible, the members of "Pay It Forward" at KFOX-14 in El Paso gave her a new bike from Trek El Paso. At the West El Paso shop, she will have $500 to spend on other gear, courtesy of City Lights Limousine. And a trainer is being provided to help her get ready for race day.
I hope that she and O'Rourke both win their races!
