In a world where special interests groups are clamoring for attention. Where justice doesn't always prevail. In a society where attention seeking is more important than morals, and values have eroded to unhealthy levels, riding for the Kids is immensely rewarding. These children and their families don't have a choice. Cancer attacks and they have to battle. The battle is real and they are fighting for their lives. Thank goodness for The Kids With Cancer Society and the support and help they provide to these kids and their families.
For eight days I got to spend time with my ride family. This amazing group of Riders, Volunteers, and some Kids With Cancer staff come together for one week a year on the Tour. I met new friends who were on their first Tour. I reconnected with the veterans who have been around many years. I was raised up in so many ways being around the group and by what we do when we set out to do this ride. I am blessed to be able to have the health and well being to ride this event. I am blessed with the support I get from people donating to The Kids With Cancer Society so that they are able to do what they do.
There is a Spiritual aspect to this even that I look forward to every year. My Spirit soars as I ride and experience the beauty of the Country I live in. My Spirit soars when I am able to make a difference for families walking through a dark valley. My Spirit soars at the love and compassion this group expresses every year. My Spirit soars because I am alive and every day is a gift. My Spirit soars because I am pursuing life, my own, and the hope for the lives of others. My Spirit soars because the Tour of Hope does exactly that, it shows there is Hope in a world that is in need of Hope.
As of today the 2018 Tour of Hope has raised $257,213.97. It's not too late to donate, go to:
