5 Years ago in August of 2005 we interned my Dad who had died of lung cancer. He never smoked, was super fit and the cancer appeared out of nowhere. We were both big supporters of Lance and watched the tour together every summer.
By coincidence, the day we found out he had lung cancer, cycling photographer Graham Watson released this photo as a 2005 limited edition print – only 200 and all signed by Lance.
I bought it for my Dad but he died before he got to see it.
We donated the print to the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center as an inspiration to all those who are trying to recover.
As one of the organizer/creators of the event I couldn’t be happier. This was a shit-ton of work but the committee and community did everything needed to put on a great event.
I think my Dad would have really enjoyed the Ride 4 Yellow event.
This was an awesome event! Looking forward to next year. Is there any way to buy a jersey?
I couldn’t find them on the website.
And he would have been so proud of you and that insanely cute Sydney kid. :0)
I think my Dad would have liked it too, he went rubber side up on the road bike a few times, and started to prefer hitting dirt than concrete.
Thanks for all your efforts, which certainly touched lives and has now created a legacy in the formation of the local Fund.
