Today my family and I enjoyed an early morning bike ride with almost 200 other bikers from across the Miami Valley. It was a beautiful day for the Clemens Cycle for Cancer! We rode in honor of my Grannie and Jason's cousin Mark, both of whom are living with cancer today. I cannot explain the overwhelming feeling that came over me when everyone took off on their bikes together...........I had a lump in my throat as I thought about those living, beating, and who have lost the battle to cancer. The ride was 10, 25, or 50 miles. We opted for the 10 mile ride since we had our 6 year old and 17 month old with us! We took two wrong turns and instead of a 10 mile ride, it turned into more like a 15 mile ride.............oh well..............better exercise for the day! A special thanks to Jenny Lewis (CEO of the Miami Valley Foundation) for being so hospitable to my family! Oh, and the highlight of Jason's day was going to Dick's Sporting Goods (it was 2 stories)...........after the ride! It's the little things that make the hubby happy, you know? P.S. Anna fell asleep on the bike ride, and she was still sleeping when we crossed the finish line.........see the picture below!
It was a tremendous pleasure to have you and your family with us for Clemens Cycle for Cancer last Saturday. We look forward to next year! Best wishes, thoughts and prayers for your Grannie and Jason's cousin, Mark.
