I'd be lying if I said I was excited about riding 100 miles. Really... 100 miles on a bike seat? Up the inclines? Training through the winter months? What in the world have I gotten myself into?
And then it hits me... Cancer patients don't sign up for cancer. They don't choose the seasons when they have to fight the battles. The mountains they climb are far more superior than any hill I will ride.
I struggle daily with the thought of how cancer has changed my life. I have feared the word since I was old enough to understand death. My grandparents all had cancer, then my dad. There is nothing more that I hate than cancer.
But, this is also why I have chosen to ride 100-miles. The cold weather, the hills, the stupid bike seat that hurts to sit on for any period of time... I have made this choice.
To all of the cancer patients, families of cancer patients, survivors, and victims... THIS IS FOR YOU!
