Dear Cycling Friends, 

On September 12th, 2002, I lost my sister-in-law, CJ Ryan, to breast cancer. She was my brother's wife and mother to three beautiful girls who at the time were aged 13, 10, and 7 years.

 

In the five years CJ battled cancer, we only saw her cry only once. "That was when the doctor told her she had the disease," recalls my brother Steve. "After that, she would give us a reassuring smile as she endured her often very painful treatments."

 

What I remember most about CJ was her devotion to family. Five years earlier, a career change brought my family to Philadelphia where my brother's family lived. At the time, I was a new mom and like most, trying to adjust to the demands of a toddler and acclimate to life in a new area. CJ immediately called and set up twice weekly playdates for our one-year-olds.

 

CJ Ryan and Trish Dugan

We spent many hours together over the next two years, taking care of our children and laughing. Always laughing. CJ was there to lend a hand, an ear. She taught me much about motherhood. About finding joy in every day you spend with your children.

 

Nine years ago this month, I lost my sister-in-law. My friend. My role-model. Please join me on October 8th as I remember CJ Ryan, and the hundreds of thousands of other women who have lost their life to this disease.

Registration is now open for the 3rd Annual Syracuse Bicycle Breast Cancer Awareness Ride to be held on Saturday, October 8th at 10 a.m. The ride offers a 25-mile route on the flat, scenic roads north of Green Lakes State Park and a 10-mile family-friendly route on the Erie Canal path. Fees for each are $25 and all proceeds will go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Each rider receives a goody bag, an opportunity to win great door prizes, and enjoy a post-ride party with great food!

 

Last year we had the largest ride in the country with 282 riders.  Help us double that number this year and REGISTER TODAY!


Not sure what to do with your husband/wife/child/dog while you're out riding? Bring them along! This is an event for the ENTIRE FAMILY!

Happy Riding,
