Like most people, I really got in touch around age 50 with the fact that one day I will be no more, and now in my late 60s that day is much closer. Unlike most people I'm not even pseudoreligious, so I have no expectation that there'll be any Me left after my body dies. I think it's saddening when someone like Susan dies at a younger age than most, and especially when everyone has to suffer in anticipation, but compared to Time itself, none of our lives last longer than the flicker of a candle flame. I won't say that's comforting, exactly, but it does feel as tho it at least puts our mortality into perspective. For me, anyway.

I have a bumper sticker that reads "cancer s*cks". It doesn't even begin to describe the devastation. My heart hurts for this family...

This is heartbreaking!

Is there some clever way we could do a united message of care and support from our whole forum to Elden and Susan?

I think both Elden and Susan read the comments and are reading them now finding them very encouraging.

I just saw this post by Big Boned on Fatty's latest entry, I'm in for 2:01.

"Friends of Fatty: It came to me this morning as I was riding in to work…I’ve seen so many of you saying that you are going to pray for Fatty and his family…I want to propose an idea I’m stealing from the International Christian Cycling Club. In the club we have a set time everyday to pray. As we have members all around the world, we pray and our prayers are heard at different times due to the different time zones.
Fatty also has friends around the world. I’m going to suggest that those of you who are open to praying, try to pray for Fatty’s family at 2:01pm daily in your timezone. 201 pounds being the weight that designates the Clydesdale class that so many of us belong to. Set an alarm on your watch to help you remember, it can take only a minute, but it can be so powerful."

Wow.

**Jones** · 05-06-2008, 12:50 AM

That is so cool.

**Tuckervill** · 05-06-2008, 04:46 AM

That is all just too profound for words, so I just add my tears to his.

When I saw the post I thought, "well how would you know it was Lance?" D'oh.... it's awesome.

I am not the seller.

While I generally don't feel right about touting non-TE products on this forum, I think Susan O won't mind this ...

There's a new run of Fat Cyclist jerseys available via Twin Six, and they're selling out fast.

Men's are already gone, and women's are only available in Med & Large.

Proceeds benefit Fatty's wife Susan.
