Hi! I’ve joined my great friend Bridget Holmes, the Executive Director of BellRinger, on her personal team of rockstars, to raise money for cancer research at Georgetown’s Lombardi Center. We will be riding 25 miles on October 26 — it’ll be a spectacle of support for researchers, medical professionals, and caregivers, and especially for those who have fought, are fighting, and may one day face the fight against cancer.
I’m riding hugely for my Dad, who lost the fight way too soon. I’m also riding for family, friends, neighbors, and strangers, including my grandma Mary, Sarah, Erin, Margy, Alison, Marge, Geri, Art, Avi, Tiffy, Doug, John, Sandra, Todd, Kelli, Cheryl, Fiona, Abby, Elizabeth Keane, Mrs. Whitney, Dan, Marucha, Danny Hyde, AnnieLou, and for Kate Middleton, because no mom should have to tell her young children that she has cancer. Oh, also for Leanne Hainsby, my Peloton idol who kicks my butt like she kicks cancer.
I'm riding for doctors and nurses including John, Danielle, Kara, Kevin, Amy, Cristina, and George, And I hold in my heart the people suffering with cancer who don't have access to excellent care.
The encouraging news is that strides are being made and new treatments and cures are in the works. Survival rates are up 20% since the 1970s. I was BORN in the 1970s! This is happening in our lifetime! Check out the amazing work happening at Georgetown Lombardi here: https://lombardi.georgetown.edu/
and please consider RIDING / FUNDRAISING WITH ME or MAKING A DONATION here: https://ride.bellringer.org/rider/noladams5509
I’m so very grateful but in no way want to pressure anyone. I know there are countless excellent causes to support, and we all are spread so thin.
All the best, XO,
Noël
