Year #3 for me. My sister called me an Accidental Advocate. True. I saw the Great Cycle Challenge on Facebook just when I was looking for some way to give back other than just writing checks.

We need a cure for childhood cancer. My heart weeps for children dying every week. While I have not met these courageous children I have experienced the relief of beating cancer (hopefully) as well as watching it take away my family, most recently my best friend and sister Susie. I am not in great shape to say the least, #couchpotato3, but my love for this cause gets me moving and makes me ask for donations even if it makes me uncomfortable because I might just get YES! Each dollar gets our researchers closer to a cure.
