I don't know if anyone has ever seen this feature on Good Morning America, but people send in photos or video clips where they describe their week/life in 3 words (sometimes actually 6, but who's counting). I really love this feature, I always find it very moving. I decided months ago that we would do something like it after our Livestrong ride, in honor of my sister, the person we were there for. I sent it to GMA, and who knows if they will use it. But I also put it on youtube myself, so thought I would share. Sorry about the quality, Spielberg I certainly am not. :)

(My sister is obviously the one at the red arrow, the little one whose jersey just says KELLY, since she is the reason for Kelly's Posse. :)

It brought tears to my eyes, and I don't even know what Livestrong is all about. Can you explain Livestrong? Thanks.

It's Lance Armstrong's Cancer Foundation (http://www.livestrong.org/site/c.khLXK1PxHmF/b.2660611/k.BCED/Home.htm)

Here is a synopsis of his story (http://www.livestrong.org/site/c.jvKZLbMRIsG/b.736583/k.C7AA/Lance.htm)

Read his book, It's Not About the Bike, for a more in depth story.

Following his treatment of cancer, he went on to win the Tour de France for 7 straight years.

Yes, as mudmucker says, it is a charity ride for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. My sister was diagnosed with lung cancer 16 months ago and 3 of us rode last year and this year we had a much bigger team there plus she was feeling up to joining us. She tells me that she'll be walking the 5K associated with it next year. So that's what I pray for every night!

Thanks to everyone for watching and for the kind words!
