“Joyful, introspective, terrifying, and sobering …” — Foreword Reviews
Greetings Dear Readers,
I invite you to laugh, cry and sweat (or at least perspire!) alongside me as I immerse you in a 4,250-mile journey from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Bancroft Press in Baltimore released “Outpedaling the Big C: My Healing Cycle Across America” in September 2020. I embarked on my solo adventure to raise research funds for the hospital that saved my life after more than a decade of cancer treatments. Exploring distinct landscapes and connecting with so many resilient inhabitants also allowed me to better understand my father, who had died of the same type of cancer–melanoma–when I was 15 and he was 44. This is a story about grit, fear, recovery and discovery. Take the ride with me. Order the book now via links below or via your favorite hometown bookstore.
PLEASE NOTE: The COVID-19 pandemic is causing book distribution delays across the country for many authors. Please exercise patience and kindness.
Cheers. And keep pedaling,
Elizabeth
Praise for Outpedaling
“McGowan takes readers through an intimate journey—across the country and through her own past—as she shares insights and lessons learned that will resonate with cancer survivors, medical professionals, and anyone who’s ever wanted to just ‘say yes’ to an adventure. Melanoma—or any cancer—changes you and the way you see the world. Outpedaling ‘the Big C’ thoroughly and entertainingly proves that all change isn’t bad.”
MIchael Kaplan, President and CEO, Melanoma Research Alliance
