Harder than I thought -

So, after making a resolution to have an article posted every Sunday, here it is Monday morning and I am posting my next blog. What could have happened that would have stopped me from keeping to my new schedule?

A long time ago I decided I was going to ride in the 'Ride to Conquer Cancer'. Recently, the reality of that decision has been kicking in. I have been training. Yesterday, the goal was to bike 75 KM.

So, off I headed, to bike 75 KM and then I would come home and do some more work, including finishing my Sunday blog.

I got through 70 KM and came home. My body hurt, this was my longest ride to date and it wasn't just my legs that were sore, it was everything. Back. Wrists. Arms. Abs. Ouch.

So, to make a long story short, I came home, showered, made some food and fell asleep. But, this brings me to my topic for the blog --

How many of us don't know someone who has been afflicted by cancer?

30% of new cancer cases and 60% of deaths due to cancer occur in middle aged adults (30-59 years old).

Cancer incidence is rising in young women aged 20-39.


More cancer statistics here.

It isn't going to be easy, but I am going to try to ride 100 km a day for two days. I am also trying to raise $2500 for cancer. Help out if you can, it is a good cause.
