In the absence of the 5K walk at the san jose challenge, I am getting on my daughters bike and cycling 10 miles. I am no cyclist but an grateful that I can participate in the LIVESTRONG challenge.
Thankyou to everyone who volunteers, donates and participates. Knowing you care is reason enough to keep going.
