Sorry I haven't been here - a bicycle for the cancer ward

[Biciclista]

First I must apologize for being away for so long. But once my Dear Husband couldn't ride anymore, and I no longer had time to ride any more, it hurt too much to visit. A lot of you know that my husband has cancer, and sadly, it's terminal. The first time he was in the oncology ward, last september, he was a fit athlete. He really chafed at the fact that his daily exercise regime was restricted to walking laps pushing an IV cart. He asked for an exercise bike, and they brought him an old broken thing; the saddle didn't set, there was only one speed... when they found out what condition it was in, they threw it away.
Anyway, DOnald wanted to start a campaign to save enough money to buy the oncology ward a recumbent exercise bike. But then surgery, a 52 day hospital stay, and recurring cancer pushed that out of his consciousness.
He has been back in the oncology ward for the last week because he has a lot of problems, but we could see there were other people there who were still very fit, doing the same thing he did; racing around the ward, pushing their carts, which led him to resolve, we've got to get that going. He just doesn't have much time. A lot of people on bike journal were saving "Pansy Quarters" for this purpose last fall. Hopefully they kept going. Donald saved 170 dollars just in quarters!
For those that do not know about Pansy, she's a gal who fought liver cancer for about 8 years while amassing thousands of miles a year on HER bike. Donald was bitterly disappointed to not be able to follow in her footsteps. So, if you have Pansy Quarters, or want to save Raleighdon QUarters for that matter and make a donation to this fund, it would really honor him.
