This is our sixth time riding as well as fundraising for this event as well as the very first time we’ve ever truly asked you for money. Please keep reading!Â
Yeah, I’m asking you for money. I just believed I’d be upfront as well as put it in the headline since those who aren’t interested can disregard this post.
Here’s why you ought to be interested.
Years ago, my hubby had a roommate named Dave. They were 18-year old soccer players at Northwestern University. Over time, they got all mature as well as got married. Dave to Jen as well as Ryan to me. Ryan as well as I have two healthy children. Jen died from stomach cancer. However, that’s not all to understand about Jen.
She was a kick ass type of chick — the kind that had huge plans as well as complied with with on them. She had a bazillion caring buddies as well as household members who asked, “Hey Jen, what can we do to help?” as well as so she produced an response for all of us.
We can donate to her fund.
When she very first got sick, she learned that working out — spinning to be particular — was her sanity saver. She ended up being a spinning addict.
So, Jen as well as Dave Linn produced an event called Spin4Survival, an indoor team cycling fundraising event held in January 2007. She visualized an event that would “reward as well as difficulty the mind, body, as well as soul” ”” one that would ultimately ended up being national in scope.
The inaugural event was an motivation for all who attended. The second annual fundraising event far surpassed projected goals, with much more than 120 teams “geared as much as battle cancer,” including around the world satellite teams. In total, the event has increased much more than $50 million as well as has grown into the fundraising event now understood as Cycle for Survival.
It is big now. as well as 100% off the money increased goes to research study at Sloan Kettering.
“The truth that this event has directly benefited clients motivates me to keep going,” Jen stated a few years ago. “We’ve gained momentum, as well as we’ve already altered the method we’re combating this illness. I have fantastic hope that this will eventually result in much more treatment breakthroughs as well as higher survival rates for those with unusual cancers, to ensure that much more of us will online to tell our distinct tales.”
In February, Heather as well as I will trip once again (with my husband, imagined above) as part of the Bay area arm of this fight. since we can as well as since we can’t stop. It would imply a great deal to us as well as to the clients living with cancer to have your support. (That implies dollars.) Click right here to donate with us. join the battle, since cancer is a big, unsightly jerk.
