Hope Knowledge Charity
On June 4th, 2016, I will embark on a 70 day, 4,500 mile journey as I bike from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska. 84 University of Texas at Austin students make up the 13th Texas 4000 for Cancer team and will be by my side throughout this experience. Texas 4000 for Cancer is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 2004. Every summer since then, a group of dedicated riders have biked from Austin to Alaska in hopes of inspiring communities across North America to join us in the battle against cancer.
Texas 4000 for Cancer is more than just a group of college students biking across the country. It is a family, who works together to fight for a future cancer-free world and who gives a voice to those wanting to join the fight.

About Me
My name is Geena May and I am a second year student from Vienna, Virginia. Coming to UT in the fall of 2014 was the first time that I have lived anywhere but Virginia. While this has been a huge adjustment for me, I am already a diehard Longhorn. I am majoring in mechanical engineering and am also seeking a pre-health certificate so I can continue onto medical school after I graduate from UT. I have many interests including sports, science, and art. In high school I was a pole vaulter and a field hockey player; however, I have picked up ultimate Frisbee and handball since coming to UT. I have a passion for photography and love to take landscape and macro photos. I look forward to taking some amazing pictures during my ride to Alaska!
What I am looking forward to most in Texas 4000 is traveling across the continent, opening my eyes to new experiences while opening other people’s eyes to knowledge about cancer and spreading hope for the future!
