WHY I RIDE: ERIKA SOTO

QSight inventory specialist, Cath Lab & Interventional Radiology, Bridgeport Hospital

This is my 12th year participating in the Closer to Free ride. I love this event because cancer affects so many people, including my family, and I can do my part to help raise money for this great cause. I ride for those who no longer can, for those who continue to fight. One of my favorite parts of the ride is the overall atmosphere, being part of something that is greater than you. It is truly moving.
