Welcome to Ride 4 The Ribbon.
My name is Tyler and I'm hosting my 4th annual Breast Cancer Fundraiser. This fundraiser is dedicated to my mom and all the women affected by breast cancer, showing them that they are not alone in their battle against this disease. On May 9, 2015, I will be hosting a Cycling Fundraiser benefiting cancer research and the Conquer Cancer Foundation at Farmingdale Gymnastics Academy. At the event, you may purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win various raffle baskets, gift cards, and other amazing prizes! Click on "The Plan" tab to see further details of the event.
In 2007, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. As a 10-year-old, I understood most of what was going on with my mom but had no idea the many ways that this would affect my life. I supported my mom and prayed for her recovery as she was constantly in and out of the hospitals and doctors' offices. My anxiety and fears grew. The worst part was not knowing the outcome of my mom's treatments - would they work and save her and would I have my mom back? After a very emotional year filled with many highs and lows, my mom came out on top and won her battle against breast cancer. She is now a 7 year survivor, and it's my objective to help as many breast cancer patients as I can and contribute to eliminating the disease altogether.
I am raising money for the Conquer Cancer Foundation. The Conquer Cancer Foundation is an organization that supports cancer research, provides resources to help patients and their families, and supports cancer education to physicians and patients. I'm asking you to help contribute to this worthy cause and play your part in the war against cancer.
