Sweeeeeet! Spreading awareness and hopefully raising some money. Derek Wilson at the Larkspur-Corte Madera Patch wrote a story about me and my ride. Click here to read the first media about my story and kickingmycancer.com.
Dusting off the bike today! Feeling pretty good. Range of motion continues to improve, and I feel like I could be back to my old self (sans right breast) by departure on May 15th.
Initially this blog chronicled my family's cycle/RV adventure to my May 21st chemotherapy appointment over 300 miles away.
The intention of the ride was to benefit my well-being after my mastectomy and before chemotherapy and radiation, spread cancer awareness, and raise money for two incredible programs that have inspired and cared for me during my bout with breast cancer...read more about them on the purpose page.
Despite the dis-ease that I am experiencing, I choose to live fully and in deep appreciation for simply being alive. I am dedicated to exercising, eating healthy every day -- two ways within my power toward healing.
Lovely! Getting the bike out, dusting her off! She’s excited too, I’m sure!
And that was a great article!!
Could you have looked more beautiful in those pictures? I think not! This ride/adventure/fundraiser will be an educational experience for every one I’m sure. After loosing 2 dear sweet sisters to cancer I am hoping you will talk along the way about how our current environment on this beautiful planet needs a serious detox so more of us won’t get cancer at these young ages. No more plastics (hormone disrupters extraordinaire) and better pollution control. We can juice all we want and do all the personal prevention we can but in the end no one seems to be discussing the underlying pervasive problem…we have trashed this planet and we need to try and fix it!
Hi Nicole, I found out today via FB via Carlisle’s msg to you. Want to let you know I’ll be sending love and light your way. All the best! Annemarie O’Toole Dippre (Rex, massage therapist is my husband.)
