I am riding for my best friend Ed Wieland. I was the best man at Ed’s wedding, less than a year ago. For the last 8 months I have watched as Ed struggled with Colon Cancer. First surgery to remove the cancer then multiple chemotherapy treatments. Thinning hair, extreme sensitivity to heat and cold, in addition to numerous other side effects.
On Tuesday May 1st, Ed was given the dreaded news that his cancer was back and had spread to his lungs and liver. He has to endure 6 more chemotherapy treatments before the next round of tests. Hopefully, these treatments are successful and he will have a clean bill of health by the time we ride in July.
Too many people have to face the beast that is Cancer. I have seen many people in families around me deal with breast, skin and bladder cancers. I myself have Crohn’s disease and because of that, I am at increased risk for Colon Cancer.
Please donate and help those that have cancer to get healthy, help families cope when loved ones are affected by cancer, and help to find a cure so that future generations do not suffer from this dreaded disease
