If you haven’t already signed up, a visit to the Tour de Lis Web site, with alarming cancer statistics (i.e. One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime) and moving stories of how cancer has impacted so many lives, will convince you to do so. The stories of the survivors – and those who have lost loved ones – would convince anyone to ride, regardless of ability. In fact, everyone is welcome to join in – just one more way that the Tour de Lis is not your average bicycle race.

The second annual event drew over 600 bike riders and raised just under $200,000 to benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation, CAGNO and Planet Cancer.

Over the last month or so, I’ve been regularly posting about my planned ride in the Tour de Lis, a bike ride, here in New Orleans, to raise money for cancer research, treatment and support programs.
I rode in the Tour de Lis for the second time, this past Saturday, with Scott. This year, he was great enough to take the ride with me, in support of my goal to do something good!
