As I was pedaling along on today’s bike ride, I came upon this group of cyclists. So I stopped and asked; “what are you”?
They are riding from Austin, Texas to Canada for cancer awareness & fund raising this summer. As we talked, they answered
my million questions & offered me some of their lunch!
They average 90 miles a day, and are on their return ride back to Austin (in 34 days). When I got ready to leave, They asked
me if I had someone affected by cancer. I told them yes, I lost my brother Adam to colon cancer, he was only 45 years old.
It brought tears to my eyes when they informed me that they were dedicating today’s ride to Adam. They then wrote on their
arms & legs Adam’s name. I can’t tell you what this meant to me. I told them I would pray for them, I did and I will be.
Thank you “Team Smoky Mountains” These amazing college students were simply delightful to talk with and blessed me beyond measure.
These beautiful people are my Heroes!

That’s a cool story Bill( minus the part about your brother passing) hopefully one day they will find a cure.

What an impressive ride for them for a great cause. Something tells me that you were supposed to come across their path. Sorry about your brother, I lost an uncle this year from the same thing.
Where did you run into them?
