For those who know me know I hold this event close to my heart.

May 3rd was 10 years since I lost my Dad to cancer. If I’ve learned anything over the years it’s that time stops for nothing. Somehow, in the midst of chaos and sadness you pick up the pieces and keep moving forward. Loss grants you the gift of appreciation.

This year my ride means even more. On May 1st Randy lost his long 16 month battle with cancer. 16 months post diagnoses was unheard of for his type of cancer. Randy wasn’t just a dog; he was family, consistent love, my number 1 fan, fearless, and my saving grace for 13 beautiful years. He knew me better than I knew myself. As much as I miss him with each waking day, the gratitude in my heart and soul for the time spent together will live on forever. He lives in a special space in my soul and will stay there until the end of time.

This year I not only ride for my Dad, I’m riding for Randy.❤❤
