    I knew this would be coming soon, but I had hoped not this soon. So sad for their family--you know that they will be fine in time, there's so much love there, but you just wish people didn't have to ever go through this. Cancer sucks.

    I have been following Fatty for over a year now. I have been dreading this moment since November. I am really shocked she held on so long. What a courageous and heartbreaking struggle for both Fatty and Susan. My heart truly hurts for them and their children. Those poor children. Boy does that family seem to have a lot of love though. I am sending positive thoughts into the universe for all of them. I truly hope Fatty can find some peace and comfort.

    it's almost like losing a member of your own family.

    I went to bed thinking about her, and woke up thinking about her. What a hard end (but at least she knew how much she was loved).

    Yes, cancer sucks.

    I was doing OK, till I went to Twin Six's site to check on a T-shirt. That WIN with a teardrop... oh man, buckets of tears.

    No kidding. That's how I found out (somehow I missed this thread). Powerful image, huh?

    Much love to the Fatty family.

    Thanks for posting the link. Such a simple image, and still so heartbreaking. It is amazing how Fatty has been able to spread the word and enlist people to fight cancer. Susan really will live on in so many ways.

    Aww man, thanks for posting that, I hadn't seen it yet. It just gives me the goosebumps.

    It just shows how amazing those two are, that so many people would rally behind them, care so much for them, help them raise so much money to fight cancer. Like I told my husband last night - it shows just how MUCH he loves Susan, that he did all this - just for her. (Of course for the other people that have cancer out there also, but it started with her.)

    I was hoping to get a FC jersey to wear on my cancer ride this month, but it appears the website isn't selling them.

    Knew it was coming, but it still hurts. Makes me want to fight harder than ever to cure this.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    I emailed them last week about this, and was told that a new FC women's jersey is coming this fall

    On TwinSix's twitter, they mention that they might have new FC gear, ready for pre-order by the end of August... can't wait!
