I thought I’d ride here in Florida to celebrate the discipline that Jeff has shown during the past year of his Cancer war. - Larry Mulder

I Ride for: Nancy

Like all cancer warriors, Nancy’s life is unpredictable. Unfortunately she has gotten an extra dose, with the loss of her husband a year ago. With kids at home and a business to run, she has no time to relax and let someone else carry the load for even a day. So much of the fight with cancer is built up with our support people.

“I have a friend who might have Multiple Myeloma. Would mind if I gave him your contact info?”

This is how I was introduced to Mike a few months ago.

No matter what my attitude is, Nicole has taken on “What ELSE can I do?” No sugar or carbs (sugar free KETO), cold plunges twice a day, and long walks. She is also at Sloan-Kettering, which Jeri and I have heard nothing but good things about as we have researched in 2023. Chemo every Wednesday, which for sure has made my “Crabby Thursday” much less Crabby. I can only imagine Nicole’s day after Chemo, but I know my sleep deprivation does not compare. Suck it up, Jeff, right!?!?

PS Hope this flag helps Cole get his not the “circle of trust”. 😩

I do not know what your prognosis is and I do not know what mine is. What I do know is I will choose my bone marrow biopsy over your cystoscopy. Yikes

Like most of the people I ride for, I have never met Melina.  I know she was born in Italy, but do not know if she immigrated to Canada

Interesting set of connections on this flag. While I have never met Charmaine, I was clearly supposed to ride for her this week.

Another weird/interesting/God Nudge with this flag for Betty. When I got the call from her husband I had just finished the flag for

225 miles is what I did with George’s flag. Not too bad for a week. It helps that day 2 was my 102 mile ride last Saturday.

Greg, I did this one just for you from the very start of the day. I got up at 5:00am and was on the road by 5:30. I know how much you like to get up early.

I’ve been doing flags for years now. I usually ride for 100 miles with each flag, do a post like this, and then send

As I rode today, Sherri is recovering from her first cancer surgery. While she recovers she needs to wait for the pathology report that will take 1-2 weeks.

This is NOT the beach where I expected to take this picture. My plan was to ride for a week or so while I was in Florida, take a picture with the Atlantic Ocean in the background,

No! This jersey is not about me. Chubby I am. A unicorn I am not. This is one of my favorite jerseys AND I thought referencing this magical horse

It is not always wind at my back, sunny, and downhill out here riding in mid-Michigan. There are times when there is always a head wind,

I have been riding for Lois for 6 weeks now. Why so long? I could say it is because I just have not had time to write a post

No, I am not done with the Great Cycle Challenge for 2021. And tomorrow I’ll be back with more appreciation rides and of course asking for money.

I got the request in October, but quit riding mid November. Got back on the road again last week.
