Up until my mid 20's, cancer was something that only affected other people and their families
In the past few years, it has hit home, with cancer impacting direct family, family friends, friends of friends and the loss of several who have not been able to fight the good fight and have succumb to this terrible illness.
Over the past three years I have been involved in the Tour De Cure twice, by supporting a good friend in her ride during the pandemic, by way of being the pace setter during her rides.
Well, this year, a team has been created from within the organisation I work for. We are joining the Wheelin' Warriors of the North and participating in the full Tour De Cure.
To this end, as the first paragraphs above may resonate with you personally, I am appealing to your good nature and asking for your sponsorship in this event.
Anything you can provide will be given to a good place that will assist others in their fight against cancer.
It is not going to be an easy endeavor! However, I promise that I will earn every ounce of sweat each time I clip in. With your support I will give it everything I can to get to the finish line, in honor of those who have fought, are fighting and those who lost their fight against cancer.
Please support me in the Tour de Cure!
Many thanks,
Russ
