I'm Riding For
Maria Lupe Lopez
{In Memory: Maria Longoria-Lopez AKA Nanny} She was cared for 24/7 by her youngest daughter, Eva - Maria, and by her two grandchildren, Kade and Faith. who loved her with all their hearts. ~ Maria also known as Pita, passed away on Monday, July 19, 2021. She was not alone during her passing even though the cancer center had stringent COVID protocols. She was able to spend time with fellow loved ones. ~ Maria had a difficult battle with a rare form of bone marrow cancer (MDS) leukemia, and is finally at rest. Her suffering and battle cry is finally over, but death did not beat her, nor did cancer. For her body always belonged to Jesus Christ and the one God who created the Heavens and the Earth, her true Father. Her death was paced by her own wishes and at her own time in accordance with God and her Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a fighter and made an impression with every nurse or doctor she encountered. Her healthcare team gave her a nick name, ‘spicy’. They all called her "A-Hoot’! She will be forever loved and forever remembered. ~ Maria was a Proud Patient Advocate & a Medical Spanish Interpreter for those that needed language access. You will be forever loved & deeply missed by all your family & community. ~ Off to your next journey! ~ Maria said this mantra daily, to the very end, and days before she departed from her earthly vessel: "The blood of Jesus runs through my bones. The blood of Jesus is cancer free. I am cancer free!" ~ Maria's Last Wishes Was For Her Daughter Prune, To Continue Her Biking Adventures, & To Never Stop Riding For Cancer Causes! We will love you always. You will be in our hearts and memories. Until we meet again: ~ Your Team
My Story
PLEASE DONATE TO MY CHALLENGE TO FIGHT KID’S CANCER! My team will ride (mountain bike) 300 plus Miles to support the cause! As an avid mountain biker most likely my miles will increase out of passion for this cause. We will keep you posted through our biking journey! Dedicated: To my mom & my teams grandmother, Maria Lopez aka Nanny, who passed from a rare Bone Marrow Cancer, Myelodysplastic Syndrome in 2021. Our hearts still bleed.
Why the GCC Challenge? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week. My mother always encouraged me to support these efforts through my love of mountain biking.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds, of any amounts, through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support myself, and my team partner, by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve!
Your support will change little lives!
With admiration,
Eva-Maria (Prune) Lucas & Team
