My first Ride for Roswell was 15 yrs ago. Our daughter, Melanie,a childhood cancer survivor was getting married. Ken and I rode in thanks for RPCI. Since then there have been numerous reasons to continue riding. My sister, Yvonne, had a successful BMT. I ride with a prayer for her continuing good health.
My sister, Jane, had a cancerous lesion removed from her lung. My Kenny, our son and son-in-law have had melanomas removed. I ride in support for continuing good follow-ups. I will ride in support of Tom Arth who is currently receiving treatment at RPCI.
- A beloved cousin, Wally Stetz, lost his battle with a Glioblastoma. Most recently another beloved cousin, Karen LaRosa-Nellis, lost her battle as well.
- This year, my initial donation was made in memory of Karen LaRosa-Nellis.
It is with a very heavy heart that we ride inmemory of Manju, the sister of our dear Mona. Manju lost her courageous 3 yr battle with cancer.
