cycle

As a driver, there are few things more frustrating than encountering a cyclist on the road. As a cyclist, there's nothing more annoying than a driver who thinks he knows all the laws and rules. Who's right? Well, both can be. Before you let your road rage get the better of you and you chew out the guy on the bike riding in the road...

But what I experienced at Cycle was far beyond bikes. Seeing the community come out to power a message and backing something Keke is so passionate about was really inspiring. "It shouldn't hurt to be a child" has so many layers.

Every year for twelve years, Keke has been doing an event, Live For 175, to bring awareness to child abuse and child abuse prevention. April is child abuse prevention month, and this is my first time doing this amazing event with Keke.

Sadly, it seems that most people have their own story with child abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault or at least know someone who does. Keke has spent more than a decade bringing awareness to this and putting it on the air, something I've not seen done like this before.
