Fonting Yu's story

Cancer lives among us. I imagine we all know at least one person that has been impacted. Most recently my sister was diagnosed with Anaplastic Astrocytoma (Grade 3), a rare, malignant brain tumor that arises from astrocytes, the supportive cells in the nervous system. We found out suddenly when she lost consciousness and fell into a seizure. We had just finished a high school graduation lunch for her oldest son.
Due to the location, it is not advisable to operate as primary functions like body movement, sensation, language, and vision could be impacted.

She is currently undergoing treatment at Georgetown University Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

I ride because I am able. I ride because our health cannot be taken for granted.
