On Sunday, we honor those touched by cancer. These rides can be a bittersweet endeavor. But I prefer to look at them as a way to celebrate memories and be thankful for gifts among us. Livestrong.
24 special names. Thank you for giving me the privilege.

Jeff,
Jane will smile all the way and probably laugh and giggle at the beautiful memories you will stir up. Thank you Hannah and Grace for the beautiful artwork.
PS: Jane was from Sweden and her closest friend was Hannah – what do you know!?
Have a great ride man!
GT, I hope Jane did indeed smile and giggle. It felt like I had a lot of “help” in my legs during the ride — with the Texas winds and all. Thanks for sharing. My oldest daughter was very moved to learn of the coincidence in names. You’ll be interested to know my Hannah’s middle name is Jayne. Imagine that!
