Last year I did the Ride to Conquer Cancer in honour of my friend Jennifer who passed away in 2012. What started out as a ride for one turned into a ride for many. Over one hundred names that my teammates and I carried with us on the back of our shirts. Within days of that ride, I signed up again feeling the need to continue the ride to find the cure...the cure that will end this dreaded disease that has taken so many from us and continues to do so even as I write this.
But I can't do it alone and I won't. This year the team behind me will be bigger and stronger! 19 other people will be cycling along side me all striving for the same goal: raising the $$ needed to find a cure. We will train together, cycle together, laugh together but most of all we will support each other.
And so here I go again...the winter training, the early morning weekend rides, the after work rides...all of it leading me to one final destination: the finish line in Quebec City. This year I dedicate my ride to everyone who is battling cancer. Their sheer determination is what will keep me going!
