Mark is training for the LIVESTRONG Bike Ride!

One more week of radiation to go! So far, he's doing great and we hope that he continues to stay healthy. Our new family struggle is not unique. More than 10 million Americans are currently living with cancer. More than 1.3 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer this year alone.

In honor of Mark's battle with cancer, and for all of those millions of people in the same fight, he's participating in the LIVESTRONG Bike Ride in Irvine on June 25^th. He's planning on riding his bike 100 miles to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. His ultimate goal is $15,000. We just bought him a sweet new road bike and he's currently training every day for this event. He's going to do his best to stay strong for every mile.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation believes that in the battle with cancer, unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything. Founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist, Lance Armstrong, the LAF provides the practical information and tools people living with cancer need to live life on their own terms. Their mission is to inspire and empower people affected by cancer and they serve this mission through advocacy, public health and research programs.

We know he can reach his goal with the support of friends like you. If you're interested in helping him, you can give online at www.livestrongride.org
