So Livestrong funds no longer go to cancer research

[Reesha]

I'm sorry to hear about your father!

I lost my grandmother to alzheimer's and nobody in our family really relates much to the Alzheimer's Association. I think it's just a matter of personal choice and need. I am glad for the things that Livestrong Foundation does on behalf of those that choose to use their services!

Thx Reesha for the thought/observation.

I guess I relate to the Cancer Rides more for situations of strength, fun and I know it's for solidarity to be with others who have lost others to cancer or have cancer themselves.

But for myself, just cycling by myself and thinking about loved one without an organized ride of people "celebrating" life or whatever, is enough for me.

I gave some money to the Moustache national campaign for Prostate Cancer several months ago.
