Yanise Yick Yan Ho, dubbed as The Bladress (born January 09, 1995) is a long-distance inline skater who completed a 3850-mile solo rollerblading journey across the United States. Ho began the journey in Miami, Florida, on March 14,2018 and officially ended in Portland, Oregon on October 20, 2018. Ho's endeavor propelled her into the limelight as she is the first woman who ever rollerbladed across the United States without a supporting crew; the twenty-three-year-old woman also insisted on traveling with only a 43-lb backpack and zero dollars to highlight human kindness. While documenting the progress via social media, Ho also raised 32,499USD to support girls' secondary education in Kenya and Uganda through a non-profit organization called One Girl Can.
Ho was selected as one of the "Leading Ladies" for Hollywood singerHarry Connick 's daytime talk show- Harry after her first test skate from Savannah, Georgia, to Miami, Florida in 2016.
