As the year draws to a close, I reflect back on the moments
that brought me here. Losing my friend
Jennifer was the catalyst. Knowing I
wanted to do something to honour her memory helped me make the decision to sign
up for the Ride to Conquer Cancer bike ride.
Getting the bike from a friend of mine sealed the deal and I was on my
way.
Along this bike path, I’ve made new friends, found a team I
can be proud of as well as finding a belief in myself that burst forth every
time I get on that bike and pedal. I’ve
biked in the morning, the heat of the day and the early evening. Every ride has given me a new perspective, a
new view and a new outlook on life.
Cancer may have taken people I care about but it will not take away my drive
to succeed.
I have endured bike spills, sore muscles, idiot car drivers and more but all they have done is to teach me to get back on
the bike and keep striving for my goal.
And that goal will be crossing the finish line on July 7, 2013 in Quebec
City. And the funds I raise along the
way will, I hope, kick cancer in its ass and send it on its way. However no matter what highs and lows I have encountered, I
have definitely learned that the road I
travel will not defeat me.
