I've done so many charity rides for MS over the years, but this ride for cancer research and family outreach really hits home for me. I watched both my mother and father-in-law struggle with chemotherapy and ultimately die from cancer. It was a very painful experience to endure for the whole family. But in their fight to cling to life, I witnessed amazing strength and humor. Having been through their last moments with them taught me to not fear death. So many of our family members and friends have fought the good fight. I hope someday there is a cure. I just won't see it in my lifetime I'm sure. There's unity in hope. I'll ride strong for them on October 2, 2010.
