Sorry, I have been behind in getting announcements
out to the egroup! I would like to introduce our newest member of
the Mission in Motion Team, Vanessa McCaffery!
*************Welcome to the team!*************
Vanessa is the 4th of 12 children, is 26 and lives in Ithaca. She
teaches horseback riding and schools lesson horses for Cornell's Phys
Ed department, and works as a research assistant at Cornell (though
her Cornell education was in fine arts). She enjoys horseback riding
(dressage/combined training), polo, kayaking, cross-country skiing,
and swimming. Vanessa was attracted to MiM by the prospect of having
strong women as teammates and is really enjoying riding with the team.
She has ridden road bikes for 4 years and raced one season in 2005
with Luat and the Cornell cycling team. She hopes to be a good
contributor/teammate and support the team mission and Lourdes Hospital
as much as she can. Her personal goals are to gain more race
experience, work on all-around strength and eventually move up to Cat
3. In addition to road racing this year, Vanessa will also
participate in "Women Swimmin'"-a 1.2 mile swim across Cayuga
Lake to
raise funds for Hospicare of Ithaca.
