Re: We need your help: The Lance Armstrong Foundation- Ride for the Roses

This is a terrific cause and one I hope other Wild Texas members and users will want to participate in, either as riders or simply to donate. Most of us do not have to look very far to find someone we know who has had cancer impact their life in some way. Many of us know a cancer survivor or someone whose life was ultimately cut short by cancer. My aunt Stephanie dealt with cancer for years, and ultimately lost her battle more than 5 years ago. Her memory, and the strength and resilience with which she led her life -- before and throughout her cancer -- remains a powerful testament to how important things like the Lance Armstrong Foundation's work is. I received even more vivid reminders in the last couple years as two co-workers were diagnosed with and received treatment for cancer. I am happy to say that both are cancer survivors, and that means more to me now that I have their examples, as well as my aunt's, to refer to.

I commend Kai and her husband for participating, and for sharing their participation with us. Justin and I are donating $10 to Kai and $10 to her husband. Nothing would make me happier than to hear that other donations came in from the friendly and supportive folks who frequent WildTexas.com to help them reach their participation goal, and ultimately help the Foundation in achieving its goal.

Best of luck, and do let us know your progress Kai!
