I just hit $10,000 to fight kids' cancer! Thank you so much for your support.
As if I needed another reminder of why I do this, I got three in the last 24 hours. I met a nice couple this evening. They were walking to an event to save trees. We struck up a conversation and they asked what my button was for (riding to kick cancers butt) I told them about the Great Cycle Challenge and they told me that they had lost their grandson to cancer 5 years ago. Since then their daughter has raised $250.000 to fight cancer. I hope they see this and leave me a message. I would really like to speak to their daughter and learn how she has raised so much money in such a short period of time. I would also like to learn more about her son. (who clearly had amazing grandparents)
Shortly before that I saw and old friend who I hadn't seen since the City Market closed down. I found out that he and his wife lost their daughter to cancer just months ago. She was diagnosed and gone within days.
Finally, my wife found out that a friend of hers was just diagnosed with cancer.
I hate this disease and I will keep riding until I am either unable to ride or we have rid ourselves of this horrible disease.
