I just got some bad news about my Uncle. The Dr. that we were so excited that he was going to get to see, didn't have good news......
I went online to try and find some information about Cancer and found some startling stats -
Cancer is the #2 cause of Death in the US, behind Heart Disease
Here is the one that got me -
From birth to death Males have a 45.67% or (1 in 2) chance of Developing Invasive Cancers for Females it is 38.09% or (1 in 3) http://www.cancer.org/downloads/stt/CAFF06Prob.pdf
Just think about it...Do you know someone who has been affected by Cancer? My guess is that you have, if it wasn't a family member, it was a friend or a co-worker. Everyone has had to deal with this terrible disease!
The only way for us to rid the world of this evil is by getting the worlds researchers the tools they need and the way you and I can do this is by donating. If you don't want to donate to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, then find your favorite cancer charity and donate.
Just for the record - we rode again on Sat morning, same route as last week, but this time 45 min faster.
