Hi everyone!
I am again participating in the Ride for Roswell as part of Team Cheat'um & Beat'um, which is Captained by my friend and colleague, Lori Cheatom. This is my 9th consecutive year, and I am ever so appreciative of my friends and family who continue to support me in this cause.
I have always ridden in honor of my sister, Karen, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2008. She lost her valiant battle against this horrible disease in May 2022, after it metastasized. Roswell was a driving force throughout her illness, especially their Breast Clinic. My goal is to continue to ride in Karen's Memory until a cure is found.
Also, I continue to support three good friends who have been treated at Roswell since 2020 & 2022 after all 3 were diagnosed with leukemia. They are truly an inspiration to all who know them. In addition, two more close friends were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February of this year. Sadly, one of them lost her battle within weeks of becoming ill. The other is in the early stages of his treatment at Roswell. For them, and the many others who are affected, I will continue to ride in their Honor.
This year's Ride is going to take place on Saturday, June 22nd, 2024, and I will be participating in yet another 10-mile route.
If you are able and willing to donate for my ride, I would greatly appreciate it. No amount is too small! We remain hopeful that a cure is close, and with generous donations from people like you, we are taking steps towards that goal every day. Thank you very much if you are able to donate, and I appreciate your kind consideration no matter what.
Lisa
