The Team Sarcoma bike tour is 26 days away!
Between Todd’s chemo side effects and the rain, we’re a bit (okay, a lot) behind schedule training for the tour. But as you can see from the photo, we got out on our bikes tonight (in the 93-degree humid weather no less!) and put in 8 miles together. Granted that’s not going to cut it on the big bike tour in July, but it’s a start. And for Todd to do 8 miles in this heat during chemo is pretty impressive if you ask me! Todd remains frustrated that he’s not progressing faster, but I think he’s doing great. Amazing, actually, with everything he’s been through. And besides, Scott (Todd’s dad) did a 30-mile bike ride yesterday, so technically, our team as a whole is right on course! :) I guess there’s no question who will be carrying Team Andrews on the 185-mile trek, eh?! Fortunately, this is not a race; the point of the bike tour is to raise awareness/funding for sarcomas and to have an incredible experience, and we can do that regardless of how many miles we bike.
We are grateful for the donations we have received in Todd’s honor to support our team, especially in this tough economy. Thank you!!! Sarcomas are rare, aggressive cancers that get very little funding, so your donation will definitely make a difference. If you donated but your name is not listed on this blog, please let me know – I do not have an updated list of the online donors yet, but hopefully I will soon! Your kindness and support means so much to us. We are blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives.
Love,
Karen
Great post and pictures, except for the ugly purple shirt on Todd ;)
