CANCER HAS NO AGE BARRIERS AND DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE!
35 years ago at 43, while travelling on business overseas, I passed blood in my stool. A trip to emergency department at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore determined I had colon cancer, and within 48 hours of diagnosis, I was in surgery.
CANCER CHANGED MY LIFE. . . .
In those following days, weeks, months, and now years, I was ever conscious of how fortunate I was (and am) to have had early diagnosis, a medical team, friends, a partner, and family who rallied around me. CANCER CHANGED MY LIFE in many ways from what I ate, what I thought, how I spent my time, and who I brought into my life. CANCER WAS TRANSFORMATIONAL.
CYCLING was a gift of having had cancer, as were becoming a vegetarian, learning yoga, and meditation. Learning new habits and changing my lifestyle were the gifts of this DISEASE.
THE TOUR DE CURE REPRESENTS HOPE, A COMMITMENT AND BELIEF THAT CANCER CAN BE BEATEN.
I am a LIVING EMBODIMENT that CANCER CAN BE BEATEN.
WEVE ALL BEEN TOUCHED BY CANCER.
