Livestrong

This weekend my mom and I traveled to Seattle to cheer my sister on in the 100 mile ride for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We did some shopping, sleeping, laughing, getting lost, driving the wrong way down a one way, and of course lots of cheering. My sister was riding as a tribute to my grandfather.

If you've never experienced a Livestrong event, your really missing out. The energy is amazing and its so inspiring to see the survivor cross the finish line. Not only because the completed an event, but they fought the battle to cancer! Its gives anyone hope that if they are fighting or may later in their life that they too may cross that line.
I rode 100 miles a few years back with my sister, I was wishing a few times I had chose to ride again today with her, but I think she would have rode me into the ground. The girl was amazing! I don't think she was even tired at the end.

Nice work JENN!!!!!
