Dear Friends,
I am once again riding in the Ride for Roswell which will be held on June 22nd. This will be my 19th year participating in the fundraiser.
This year I am riding in memory of a dear friend and former co-worker, Kathy Robins Rood, who passed away on April 1, 2024 at the young age of 62. Over the last 25 years, Kathy faced cancer multiple times and beat it. Sadly, in early 2024, she was diagnosed with a type that was simply untreatable. Kathy was a wonderful mom, wife, grandma, friend, and co-worker. And she was one of the most kind, caring, and hardworking people one could ever meet. She will be sorely missed.
Roswell cared for and helped Kathy during each battle over the years. Her husband told me the doctors and staff were fighting with her right to the end. Therefore, my wish is to continue riding to work towards raising funds for research to help those that are still in the battle against cancer. If you are able, I would appreciate your support in my fundraising.
Very sincerely,
Gretchen
