The Cuppa Joe Grinders

Hi Everyone;

This year, I have decided to “Ride to Conquer Cancer” – this means I will be pedaling my bike from Vancouver to Seattle to raise funds for cancer research. I have joined “Team Finn” – formed by some of our close friends, to honour Finn Sullivan, the son of Pat, who passed away from a rare form of childhood cancer in October. Finn is survived by an extended army of fans, family and well wishers, including his mom (Sam Mason) dad, older sister and Twin brother. Pat and Sam were both classmates of Carolyn’s and are good friends of mine. I’ve attached to this email, Pat’s story about Finn, if you are interested to read about it. You may have seen Pat on the TV ads, or heard his voice on the radio spots he recorded to promote the ride here in BC.

While I will be honouring Finn with this ride, I am also motivated to do the ride because in addition to Finn, I have watched too many people close to me battle cancer. Earlier this year, I lost my childhood friend, Doug, to brain cancer. We are watching another friend struggle to fight this disease right now, which is heart wrenching for us all over again. I am motivated to make the journey because I believe that raising funds for cancer research will make a difference for the quality of life for cancer patients and hopefully save some lives too.
