Last June I completed my first Bikes Fight Cancer Ride with my team, Joes Garage. I was nervous, not about the ride, but the feelings I would encounter during the event. My thoughts focused on my stepdad and my teaching mentor/friend. Cancer heartbreakingly took both shortly after they retired. The feelings I had during and after the Bikes Fight Cancer Ride were beyond what I could have imagined, and solidified the importance of this event in my life.
Since last June's ride, cancer took a good friend of 20yrs and my dad. This year's ride will have big feelings for me.
I also have friends and family who have battled, or are battling cancer and beating it. Last year the Bikes Fight Cancer Ride raised over $170,000! Local cancer research and patient services this money funded include Mass General Cancer Center, Cancer Connection, Cancer House of Hope, Magic for Maddie, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The Bikes Fight Cancer Ride and important money collected give us some power over a disease that can make us feel so incredibly powerless.
Please donate whatever you can, if you can.
