U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Nicole Favuzza, the senior enlisted leader of the 70th Operations Support Squadron at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, participated in the Air Force Cycling Team’s Memorial to Memorial (M2M) ride starting in Kill Devils Hills, North Carolina and ending in Arlington, Virginia, Sept. 12-15, 2024. Riding alongside more than 200 other cyclists, Favuzza traveled over 340 miles in a span of four days to not only embrace Air Force heritage and promote fitness and recruiting, but support wounded Airmen and Guardians through the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program (AFW2). In 2018, Favuzza was diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC), a rare cancer with no known cure. After her treatment, Favuzza joined the AFW2 Adaptive Sports Program, where she found a new community of fellow Airmen facing challenges like her. With 2024 being the 3rd annual M2M event, the Air Force Cycling Team and its participants raised more than $40,000 this year to directly support the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program.
