Cobble Hill's Jennifer Carter, who is a mother herself of three children ages 10, eight and five was inspired to pedal her heart out for Cops for Cancer’s Tour de Rock this fall because childhood and cancer are two words that should never go together.

"I really thought it was a good cause, and it raises a lot of money for childhood cancer research," said Carter. "I really wanted to give back to my community, and volunteer my time as well as to take on the challenge."

And it is a real challenge for Carter, who admits she had never been on a road bike until joining the tour. The bikes are provided to riders who then have the option to purchase them, if they so desire.

"This is my first time really biking since I was younger," said Carter.
