In Memory by Bette

In Memory by Bette

Thank you to Bette Uwarow, one of my co-workers, for giving to the Wall of Love in honor of her daughter-in-law, Jennifer.  Bette’s testimony throughout Jennifer’s sickness and subsequent passing was inspiring.  Our prayers now are with you, Nick, and Peter as you move forward.  What a joy to know what you will all meet again.

Bette mentions that others have given in memory of Jennifer during other events.  Some participated in the Revlon Walk and raised close to $5000 in her memory.  They also started a scholarship fund in her memory.  To learn more about Jennifer, you can visit her Caring Bridge site.

Visit the Wall of Love to see the placards that represent the magnetic panels we will be adding to the support vehicles that will follow the 2009 Challenge to Conquer Cancer Ride from Greenville, SC to Austin, TX.  Won’t you also consider adding a panel to the page?  Is there a cancer warrior you would like to honor and encourage?  Do you wish to memoralize a friend or loved?  We are riding for them.  Please consider giving.  I am working to find up to 500 people who will give at least $10 to this project.  Learn more here.

With the Assault on Mount Mitchell over, I can turn my attention to my next big endurance challenge.  Only this time the challenge tests more than just my physical endurance.  It will also test my faith in seeing something monumental accomplished.

If you are a regular reader of LowCadence.com, I ask you to please take a moment and consider this post.  What I am going to ask of you is a tangible way to give me some encouragement while at the same time accomplishing two other more important things – 1) show your respect for a friend or relative fighting cancer, and 2) join their fight by donating toward causes that seek a cure and offer support.

Once again I will be taking part in the Challenge to Conquer Cancer Ride in memory of my friend Michael McCaskill who passed away in 2007.  The headquarters for my participation in the ride is the site RideForMike.com.  My hope is that 500 other people will join me in adding names to the Wall of Love.

I am asking you to join me be giving at least $10 to the cause.  For each $10 you give, you can place the name of an individual you wish to honor or memorialize on the wall.  Every name that appears on the Wall of Love will also go with us on our 1400 mile trip from Greenville, SC to Austin, TX.  Each image you see on this digital wall represents a car magnet that will be placed on our support vehicles.

Join the Fight!
