The exciting first post

How many times have you heard people say "life isn't fair?"  For me, I've heard it my entire life.  I remember my dad saying it to me all of the time-- not for anything huge but for the minor, stupid drama that life sometimes deals.  It wasn't until Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma on 11-1-10 that I started to understand the severity of that statement.

Please don't think I'm starting this blog as a sob story because that is far from the reason.  In a way, I hope it continues to help the healing process.  But the main purpose is to track the events and journey of committing to century ride and actually doing the 100-mile bike ride to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

So, stay tuned.  Things are about to get good!
