LUC

When I first started this ride in 2013, my sister in law called me and asked if I would include a name among the ones I was already carrying.  Judy asked me to ride for her brother-in-law Luc who was battling a brain tumour.  I immediately added his name to the list and it was on the design that I had submitted for the team shirt when we rode from Montreal to Quebec City.  I remember as we crossed the finish line all those people were in my thoughts.  Those that had fought the battle and won, those that had passed away and those who were still fighting.

After two and a half years, Luc lost his battle on Sunday at the age of 53.

Luc was a loving husband and father who cherished his family and friends.  According to my brother, he was a proud man who loved the outdoors and loved to travel.  He leaves behind family and friends who loved and cherished him and will miss him tremendously.  Last June, just before my bike ride, I saw Luc for what was to be the last time.  He thanked me for doing the ride and raising the funds saying that I should be proud of what I had accomplished.

In 2015, I will once again be making the trek from Montreal to Quebec City.  And once again, Luc will be riding with my teammates and I. I am proud of what I have accomplished but feel there's so much more to do.  I would like a world where our children or our children's children no longer have to hear the word CANCER.

Luc - I dedicate my 2015 ride to you.
