The race is not to the swift, but to those who keep on running…
In 2 days time, Tina and I will embark on a cancer fighting odyssey across the state of Massachusetts- The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge. I simply can’t wait. It’s my favorite weekend of the year. Always has been. A beautiful, selfless weekend. That’s the best kind of weekend if you ask me.
Tonight, as has become a 10 year tradition, I made ribbons, together with my Mom, honoring those who have lived strong and those who, in the face of cancer, continue to do so every day. They will ride with me this weekend. I will carry them on my back. Each mile, every pedal stroke we’ll ride as one.
Each year my list grows.
And grows.
As the ages get younger.
And younger.
My heart just breaks.
Into 31 pieces.
This is why I ride.
Xoxo,
Colby
Good luck! Have a great ride.
Thank you! I so need to pack! 🙂

Have a great, fun, safe ride!!! And that’s the best reason to ride 🙂
Thank you! Thank you! It’s looking like it’s gonna be a little soggy, but nothing will stop us! 🙂
Have a great time, and thank you for a great message. We all have something that drives us–that is the reason that we run/ride/what have you. I think your reason is a beautiful one.
🙂 You just made my heart smile. Thank you Suz. xoxo
Always 😘
Gosh I just choked back a sob…what a heartfelt post, in so few words. Have a wonderful ride.
Michelle, I have been choking back sobs all week. Thank you for the kind words. 🙂
You are just awesome. I’ll be thinking of you!
Do a Sun Dance! Or at least a No Thunder and Lightning Dance please! xo 🙂
You got it!!!! #dancing
Yippeeee!
This is amazing. My mother-in-law is currently fighting the battle–for the second time 😦
I’m so sorry Helly. Know I will be thinking about your mother-in-law this weekend. Cancer is such a thief. I like to think raising funding for research is making a difference. Bit by bit. Pedal stroke by pedal stroke. It certainly is my hope. xo
Mine too. ❤
