Heroes behind bars

Remember when I introduced you to Heather Ray? Well, Heather and a gym full of heroes were behind bars for 4 hours on Saturday. Handle bars, that is.

The group rode for 4 hours during the Spin For the Cure fundraiser to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation. Ready to be inspired? Take a look:

I am in awe of all of the riders and volunteers who shared their time, their sweat, and their hope all for a common goal, the cure for breast cancer.

Let’s keep their spirit moving. If you are a writer, or know a writer, please take a few minutes and learn how you can participate in Blogging for A Cause, a fundraiser to support the Susan G. Komen foundation. Because as Lance mentioned last week,

“Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.” ~ Christopher Reeve

That’s really inspiring, proof that no one should ever think “I’m just one person, what can I do?” together we can all do amazing things, like find an end to cancer.
