Joining the Fight Against Cancer: 60 Miles for 60 Years

Joining the Fight Against Cancer: 60 Miles for 60 Years

Dear Family and Friends,

 

 

When Roger asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday,  I decided I wanted to ride my bike one mile for each of my years.  I will do the math for you…60 miles!

Here are some of the details.  I am riding Wednesday, June 9, 2010.  I will be starting at seven o’clock in the morning, from Port Hueneme and going thirty miles up the coast and returning.  You are all cordially invited to ride along with me.

The next part of the celebration  is the most important and where you come in.  I’m taking action against cancer and am cycling to benefit ThinkCure!  ThinkCure!  is a nonprofit  charity that funds collaborative cancer research at City of Hope and Childrens Hospital, Los Angeles.

By riding for ThinkCure!, I am honoring cancer survivors, and paying tribute to my mother, Naomi Feldman, dear family friend, Jamen Amato and friends Steve and Steven Cannata.

I encourage you to send me names of those in beloved memory you would like me to honor as I will be wearing these names on my jacket.

 

Please donate right here through this secure website.

I encourage you to pass this letter on to anyone who has been touched by cancer. 

With my love and deepest appreciation,

Janis

Please help celebrate my birthday ride by donating to ThinkCure!. Every donation helps, no matter how small.

Awhile ago, I purchased a road bike and decided I wanted to embark on a new life style.  I hired a trainer, Joe Masiello and got to work.
