Married to a Cancer survivor

John is one of "those" guys. Selflessly riding 100 miles on a bicycle because you think he can't or won't, betting you that he will. His goal is to beat Leukemia and Lymphoma. Sounds simple doesn't it? Have you tried riding a bike 10 miles without stopping? Yeah, that's nothing compared to riding 100.
Tragically, a 100 mile bike ride is nothing like living a day with blood cancer.
As if you need reasons to donate, but here they are:
Why are you still here? Click the link below...now!1. It's Cancer and you know you know someone who survived it or didn't, you know?
2. It's tax deductible.
3. You'll make me very happy and I will feature donors in a future post.
4. John is turning himself into a human billboard on race day and will be writing the name of every donor on his exposed flesh, so give in the name of your blog or my blog or a loved one... Heck! Mother's Day is tomorrow! What mom wouldn't want to be all over this hot sweaty man?

I think all people who do things like this are amazing
ReplyDeleteMy best friend since I was 14 died of Leukemia 5 years ago, my ex-in laws both died of cancer some year ago, my mother is a breast cancer survivor and I have more friends and family that, I have so many friends, classmates and family that cancer has touched. I always enter all cancer 5ks when they are available here and sponsor those that are doing the overnight bike, 100 mile RT one. Its a monster I hope one day to eradicate. I so admire people that go through these things which such courage and tenacity. I think they are amazing and many prayers go out to your friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a story. I was set to ride last fall and had what my physician thought was a recurrence of a sports hernia.
