Ride for Roswell
What a difference a year makes! Last year I had to ride alone because my husband was in treatment for Stage 4 Nasopharyngeal cancer. This year we did 20 miles and crossed the finish together. The whole event consisted of over 7200 riders and volunteers and raised 4.5 million for Roswell Park Cancer Institute - a Comprehensive Cancer Center here in Buffalo, NY.

Wow, Great news.
Glad you two could do that. I can see the joy in you're faces..........Well Done.
By riding my bicycle daily it has improved my balance, but mostly improved my breathing and my doctor no longer wants to remove 30% from each one. Last year I did 3100 miles and m best was 25 miles non-stop. Most are 10 ~15 miles. Won't get that much this year as I started off slow and now the summer heat is 100+

Congratulations!
Barbara, I am from Buffalo,NY also. I have just been diagnosed with olfactory neuroblastoma and had my MRI's yesterday. A friend of mine dropped by the other day and said that she had an article for me to read. It was your husband's story as told to the Buffalo News. Please thank your husband for me, as it was very informative and gave me hope. So glad you could both ride this year. Perhaps my husband and I will be there next year.
