Dear Friends,
On June 15th, I will be pedaling my way through the pioneer valley to raise money for Bikes Fight Cancer. 100% of all rider raised funds will support valuable cancer care services to patients, families and caregivers as well as funding hospitals focused on advancing cancer research.
All of us have been touched by cancer in some way. I will be riding with gratitude for having survived a second bout with breast cancer, to honor so many other survivors and in loving memory of a dear friend Alessandra DiBagno Land, and gracious teacher Cynthia Shilkret. Both women died recently from cancer.
Please support my ride with a donation of any amount.Together we will continue the fight against this dreadful disease. Surely one day cancer will be a disease of the past. Thank you.
with love and resolve, Sallie Deans Lake
