It was strange because I never really saw my girlfriend struggle to hold back her tears. She couldn't even read the little note she had written to her friend - she just skipped to the end where she wrote - Love Tamora. While we were down visiting in Ocean City this past week Tamora kept pointing out places that her and her friends visited when they took trips to Ocean City - ...

Having done other charity rides such as the Livestrong Ride and the MS rides, I was looking for a multiple-day ride that would test my fitness and offer a memorable experience. I positive that PPRAC will do both!

Evidence of the diseases spread could be found in his lymph nodes and lungs. After months of aggressive chemotherapy and surgeries my wife and I were told that our son was without evidence of disease.

Most of you have been hit harder by cancer than I have. And your stories are what this whole things is about (to me). So whatever you need, I'll do to help. But it's hit me, too. I do this ride for Mom-Mom & Papa Bear. Mom-Mom was my grandmother, and she's the person I'm most like. We lost her to cancer a couple of years ago. It was the only thing that could take her down. Papa Bear is my wife's dad, and ...

What got them to raise all this money, ride all those miles, and it usually gets pretty emotional. A number of us aren't the "get up in front of a crowd" type.
