Without speaking out and openly discussing it, we can’t fight cancer. It’s so important. Be open and honest and feel free to openly talk about it.
Everyone encounters cancer in their lives. It’s so prevalant and robs us of our loved ones. But to be honest it doesn’t have to and we can get to a point where there are cures and treatments or everyone.
Unfortunately in the current state we are in treatment can often times take its own toll on the person or family. And that is why I choose to complete this ride and raise funds for helping out those in need. So please help.
