For those of us in our geographic area (Ottawa/Eastern Ontario Canada) the big ride event here is the Ride For Dad( supporting prostrate cancer).We do have a less known one which is called Ride For Her, which supports Ovarian Cancer.
My lovely wife, just finished kicking Ovarian Cancers Ass this winter
. We are 6 weeks removed from the final chemo, and we are very blessed to have a clean bill of health, or NED as they call it (no evidence of disease), 75% OF ALL WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH OVARIAN CANCER ARE STAGE 3-4, it's difficult to diagnose, and mis-diagnoses , as we found out, are quite common. During treatment, my wife was quite adamant that she wanted to start a foundation for ovarian cancer, as public knowledge about it is very lacking. Her intention was to educate other women on symptoms, in hope of catching it early enough that it can be treated successfully. Her dream some day (and it very well might happen, as my wife is driven) would be to raise money for less fortunate women who are battling this disease, that they can afford to be off work/day care/basic needs etc. Recovery time estimated for my wife was 1 year, she was determined to not only live, but shortened that by 4 months. She is a business owner who had the foresight to take out critical insurance on herself should something ever happen, and it did, and the insurance paid for her time off. Some women are not that fortunate. We actually just found out about this charitable ride quite recently, and we are excited to participate in it. She hopes to raise awareness for this charity, helping others afflicted with this disease.
On MAY 28TH, at the Independent grocer at 671 River rd. ( river rd. at the Strandherd bridge) registration is at 8:00 am, ride begins at 9:00am, ends at noon at the Manotick legion, continental breakfast, and lunch included. AND YESSSSS, my wife will be riding her bike....because SHE CAN
< it would be great if we could get some Rockets thrown into the mix, (some more wolves among the sheep), to participate, and ride together for a good cause.
