Winning Another Race In Texas

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!
