Hello,
Cancer doesn't care who you are (ME), where you went to high school (FHHS) or how much income you have ($22,000). Cancer is just there after a conversation with your doctor. And for me, I sat in my car crying. I knew what my two choices were. Both expensive, one option not even covered by health care but I had to do something. Ten + years later I am cancer free and ready to ride, again.
I think I got lucky, finding the cancer when I did. But having only two treatment options, one considered experimental, didn't leave me much choice.
Maybe... Someday... Through the donations you provide, others can have a choice.
Someday... Through the donations you provide, there will be a preventative.
Maybe... Someday... Through the donations you provide, there will be a cure.
It may not be you that cancer attacks. It may be your parent, child, friend or favorite neighbor... It could even be your favorite pet.
Please donate if you are able to. And thank you for your time.
