Why I Ride

Dear Friends, Family, Fighters & Survivors:

On April 7th, 2017, I was diagnosed with stage 4 Colon Cancer. It is when we heard those 3 devastating words?? YOU HAVE CANCER! The greatest fight of my life began. I celebrated my 9 Year “Cancerversary” in April and I am very humbled by the fact that I am still alive! Choosing Gratitude as my Attitude!

I have been through many hills and valleys, including several surgeries ~organs being removed and partially removed,  and various Cancer treatments including Chemotherapy and Radiation. I have had brief and temporary times of even being told there was No Evidence of Disease in my body.

Every 2/3 months I see my Oncology Team getting scans and blood work and they are always on the Watch for it to return. Cancer is a BEAST and sadly stronger than our healthy cells. It has shown up in my colon, lymph nodes, lungs and on my Cervical Spine. Cancer Sucks!

Have you ever met or know someone who has fought, survived, or sadly died from Cancer? Can you Imagine a World Without Cancer? Did you know that Colon Cancer is on the rise to becoming the #2 type of Cancer being diagnosed in young people? The brilliant doctors and research teams at Siteman here in St. Louis ARE leading the charge finding amazing advancements, cures and helping people with Cancer live longer and with less side effects.

Brian and I are very passionate about this local fundraising opportunity, and WE NEED YOUR HELP! On Sunday, September 20th we will be biking with TEAM: Powered By HOPE for Pedal the Cause! We would love your support in this effort to raise funds to further the possibility of a World Without Cancer. 100% of your generous donation STAYS IN ST LOUIS and will directly help people like me. Any amount is a gift and so appreciated.

When we ride, we spend time reflecting on and remembering those we lost, those who are fighting and those who have beaten this devastating disease. We will honor them throughout the Pedal weekend. I live each day by Faith not by Fear and I am Powered by HOPE! = H(ow) O(rdinary) P(eople) E(ndure)

Thank you for praying for us and for your consideration for this AWESOME cause.

Love & HOPE,

Ann and Brian
