這才是真正Never Stop 200K
Biking 150 miles for a cause -- in a dress and heels from CNN
這位蔡老太太這樣子的打扮跟單速淑女車已經參加了26年 150英哩(240公里)的慈善自行車賽
雖然每次都是最後一名 但從不缺席也不棄權 非常佩服
=== 補充一下 ===
老太太雖說已是美國居民，但還是在新聞訪問中提到是台灣人
所以我才會說是台灣之光
她因為參加了26年 在當地都算是小有名氣了
這次受到CNN報導 更讓她的名聲傳到美國各地 (我就是在美國某單車論壇上看到)
她的行為不僅僅是MS病患受到鼓舞 一般"正常"人更是
我覺得我們現在單車活動這麼多
有哪些是做慈善活動的?
每次參加4-5000人 如果這報名費可以有做慈善捐款不是更好?

"I always try to tell people, whatever you can do, keep doing it, keep doing it," she says. "And that's why I do MS. When I start something, I don't want to just quit."
"我總是告訴別人，無論你做什麼，就一直做下去，一直做下去。"她說。"而這就是我為何參加MS。當我開始做了，我就不想要放棄。"
And why the nice dress and high heels? Tsai says that's just her normal biking outfit.
"I went to church, so I always dressed up and would ride my bicycle," she says. "So that's why I do it that way -- I do it that way naturally. That's the way I ride my bike."
那為何穿裙子跟高跟鞋呢？蔡說這只是她平常騎單車的打扮。
"我有上教堂，我總是打扮整齊且騎著我的腳踏車。"她說。"所以這是為何我是這樣來比賽--我都是這樣做。我就是這樣騎腳踏車的。"
"When the last rider comes in, [the MS society] usually has like a police car or fire truck with sirens going off. And usually my grandmother is the last person," says Sim with a laugh. "So the people who know about her, they just sit around waiting for multiple hours after most people have finished. And she'll just ride in, and people are cheering, taking pictures, asking for autographs. It's like being with a celebrity."
"當最後一位車手抵達，[MS單位]總是會有個警車或是消防車放出警鈴。而我祖母總是最後一個。"Sim笑著說。"所以知道她的人就會坐在那等著，在大部分人都完成了後等上好幾個小時。然後她就騎進來了，大家都會歡呼，照相，要求簽名照。好像是個名人一樣。"
"I have the most pressure out of anyone on the tour," Sim adds jokingly. "I know I can't quit, because my grandmother's behind me somewhere!"
"我是參加者當中最有壓力的人"Sim開玩笑說著。"我知道我不能放棄，因為我祖母就在我後面哪個地方騎著！"
"I think because of her personality and her demeanor, it really gives people hope. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, as long as you're persistent, you'll be able to come up with a cure," he says. "She's a pretty remarkable woman. And I'm just hoping the genes pass down."
"我想因為她的人格及行為，所以可以帶給人們希望。不論你是誰或是從哪來，只要你堅持下去，你總會找出解決之道。"他(Sim)說。"她真是個非凡的女性。而我只希望這樣的基因有傳遞下去。"
