    My life in 3 words

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    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.

    of us, no not one, is perfect; and were we to love none who had
    imperfections, this world would be a desert for our love.

    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

    Here is a synopsis of his story

    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!
