| Introduction | In May 2008, my sister Heather invited me to join her in a "bike ride" to raise money for cancer. Fighting cancer is a passion of mine so I said yes. Little did I know she was asking me to sign up to raise $2900 and ride 109 miles. Thus began my bike riding journey. I completed El Tour de Tucson and raised more than $7000. I continue to ride... I am hooked to the road and hooked on helping people beat this awful disease. I have lost several members of my family to cancer including my mom when she was only 38 (I was 20). It has been 22 years since I said goodbye to her. My childen never met her. I live wondering what life would have been like if she were still alive. While I can not change the past, I can help to change the future. My goal is that my beautiful girls will never know what it is like to lose someone you love at such a young age. And, they will never have to experience it themselves. Find a passion in life and live it. My passion? My family and helping beat the big "C". What's yours? |
