Just heard that a co-worker of 27 years, her daughter passed yesterday. She was 42 and had breast cancer that spread to her spine and brain. Covid took her last breath and ended her battle against cancer.
Your not supposed to die from breast cancer in 2020.
She leaves a 16 year old daughter and 14 year old son.

For the past 10 years I participate in Cycle for Survival that raises funds for rare cancer research for Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Normally the final event is a nationwide series of spin sessions. Due to Covid the event was virtual, so since I don't normally spin, i did a solo ride to visit my 3 friends that died of cancer before they reached 60.
Here's the final total for this years event.
75 miles, 15.8mph average, 2400 calories and 1600' of climbing over 6 hours with a few breaks to refill my water bottles and some nourishment.
I raised $5,126, and our team raised $51,809 in total.
In total, Cycle for Survival raised $23,603,435 this years and over $285,000,000 since 2007. _________________ Glenn
