These pictures were taken on 10/20/09 on their route through Northern Arizona by Wade of Visions Photography. This is a highly inspirational team of human beings who test their limits to let their loved one’s live, and through this 5000 Km ride, their strength, endurance and human capabilities is what will help drive the healing forces for those they ride for and help raise funds for a cure for Cancer!

The Cause- Riding for Cancer
Through Jerome-2009
Good post. Im very impressed to see this. Last evening I was reading an article on Lisa Ray’s cancer condition and how she chose to go public with her side of the story rather than fading into oblivion. I had always admired her for she was one of the few gorgeous females in media spotlight and had the charm and grace that others did not. Was very sad about it but I pray for her continued strength and courage. She looks more beautiful to me now!
Actually Ish, you and me share so much in common. I have also always admired Lisa Ray, not only because she’s a Canadian from Ontario, Canada, where I also spent my childhood days growing up, but the fact that she takes unconventional demanding roles that others might not. I simply loved her work in ‘Water’ by Deepa Mehta and of course the music video of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan ‘Afreen Afreen’. Apart from acting..she is talented in so many ways! I hope God gives her the strength in the first cycle of treatment.
Having worked in the Oncology Dept….I have lost many dear friends to the ‘C’ menace and family members. So I really respect what these group of people are trying to do.
We have so much to do and learn…
I have worked in Oncology Dept too for some time – voluntarily. I use to spend a lot of time with the patients, talking to them and get the boredom out. It has always been a draining experience as you get more and more involved. My dream is to have a palliative care center and an old age home for people who cannot afford and… ah dream! it is still a dream…
No dear….dreams come true…only when we least expect them to. Perhaps we both can work on this one day. We must never stop dreaming. Because your soul feels their pain, you will become drained. It is only natural.
