Please keep his sweet wife and family in your prayers.

 

Tour de Tucson, November 18, 2017!!

 

heartWe have been raising money for LLS for 6 years, and we just surpassed $50,000 this year!!  John has raised all that with the help of so many of our friends and I did a marathon, a half marathon and a couple of bikerides. heart

 

GO TEAM!!!!

 

 

Most importantly... who am I doing this for... sadly the list continues to grow...

In memory of Kim.  I never met Kim, but she she started her Dad on this path of raising money and awareness...and he has started countless others! Her legacy is amazing!  She lost her battle at 19, but so many of us are trying to help other's not lose theirs!

 

In memory of Steve Osborne.  John skydived with him for over 10 years, me for just a couple.  He fought AML so hard to be with his sweet wife Deb.  She called us and let us talk to him the night before he died.  We had just missed a connecting flight from Seattle to SLC and had a few minutes with him.  We were never so grateful to miss a flight!!

 

In memory of Roxanne Harding.  She is our friend Ray's sister who lost her battle to Leukemia.  

In memory of my mom's friend Carl.  He lost his battle to leukemia Saturday, March 14, 2014!  

In memory of Ken Snow.  We lost him too young and too quickly!  He will always be remembered!

In memory of Erika Mercier.  We lost our young niece to breast cancer this summer.  She was only 32 with three littles at home.  Please keep her husband and kids in your prayers.

In memory Mike Pailliotet's dad Paul.  Mike has supported us massively since we started fundraising with TNT.  He lost his dad last year from cancer and he will be on my Jersey this year!!

 

In honor of my friend Jerry! He is fighting the good fight with Leukemia.  Still no treatments, as it is early...and he is retiring this year!  He and his sweetheart wife Elizabeth get to go have some fun...finally!!!  He can beat leukemia...I know it!

 

Also in honor of several friend's who have beat this thing, Kelli W and Shane W's boy! Good for you, you are proof this can be beat!

 

Cancer in general sucks...and many have had it in my life.  

 

Also, My Mom, Kelli D and Diane M have all fought and beat breast cancer, I ride in their honor.  

Other family members haven't been so lucky... my father-in-law John, Sam L, both of my grandfather's, I ride in their memory too.  They are all in my thoughts and prayers.  Maybe if we can find a cure to just one kind of cancer, we can start to beat them all!!!
 

I am looking forward to being on my bike this summer, hopefully a few rides with my husband and Kade too!   If you wouldn't mind keeping me in your prayers for safe rides, I'd appreciate it!  We've had some crazy warm weather and I'm hoping for some early spring riding this year so I'm not stuck indoors on my trainer! PLEASE SHARE THE ROAD!!!

 

IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DONATE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY AMOUNT!  SO MUCH GOOD HAS BEEN DONE BY THE LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA FOUNDATION!!!  Check them out at lls.org!  They are making a difference and are honorable and careful how their donations are used!  Over 80% goes to research and patient support...VERY LITTLE goes to admin costs, as most are volunteers!!!
 

GO TEAM!!!

We are also helping "Team for the love of Aiden".  I "met" Regina Garven, Aiden's mom, through our friend Barry.  She has been trying for several years to reach a goal of $100,000 and have a medical research grant in Aiden's name. 
 
As of today, May 5, 2017, she is less than $4,000 away from a goal she has been trying so hard to reach.
 
This is her year, this team and so many people are going to help to keep her son's name alive and help save other children with blood cancer.
 
Go Regi and GO TEAM!!
