I'm Riding For

Dawn and Barbara and my late Aunt Karolene

I am riding for my sister Dawn who was born with a tumor in her stomach, and turned out to be a great sister, a great mother to her children, and a great teacher inspiring many more generations. I am also riding for my mother-in-law, Barbara, who suffered cancer later in her life, has shared many other’s battles with cancer, but has maintained a great smiling attitude through these battles and keeps me motivated to do more. This year, I am concentrating on my late Aunt Karolene. She died very young of Lukemia, and was buried at Oak Hills Burial Park in Lakeland, FL, 2/19/75. Block 130, Lot 3, Space 4. I will end my 500 mile ride at her grave site and lay flowers this year, and every year I participate from now on. I was not alive back when she passed, but I am loving my family more and more in these dark times. We will see each other through and there is a bright light on the other side. Keep the faith. GOD bless everyone.
