My cycling jersey, if not my bike, made a trip to Paris
My sisters and I went to Paris for a week. Two falls ago we talked about this trip, that the three of us would go in the fall of 2007. Of course our plan was we'd all three lose weight and then we'd go for a big shopping spree. Then in the spring of 2007, my sister was diagnosed with cancer, and I wept at the fact that our trip would never happen. That first day when we learned she had cancer, my dear friend who is an oncologist said to me as I cried, go to Paris, make it happen. So in that timeframe my sister underwent concurrent chemo/radiation, with a great response. We tried surgery to remove the tumor but that wasn't successful. She started second-line treatment, and another form of radiation. Each scan has been better than the last, but the cancer is still there. In that time, my family and I designed our cycling team jerseys to ride in her name, and we've raised over $15,000 for the LAF.
And last week, I listened to my friend and we made it happen. My other sister and I would have loved to ride while over there, but the other sister couldn't have done that, and that was OK, because it was about being there together. I had one request for a photo of the two of them, and here is the result. (hope this works, first time posting photos off of my new computer, that I'm still figuring out how to use :) )
