Inspired by Fatty

Today, I rode in honor of Susan.  You may or may not know who Susan was but she was a cancer fighting sensation.  Fat Cyclist, her husband’s blog, is the vehicle that carries her story.

The blog started out as a way for Fatty to lose weight.  However, when his wife, Susan was diagnosed with cancer it transformed into the story of a raw and valiant fight against cancer.

Ironically, the day Susan passed, I had been working on a post about Fatty, Susan and their fight.  I don’t want to take their words away, I want you to read Fatty’s words.  You’ll laugh.  You’ll cry.  You’ll learn to fight like Susan.

Fat Cyclist gear is available at Twin Six.  Half of the purchase price of a Fat Cyclist jersey goes toward Team Fatty’s fight against cancer.

I’m inspired and moved.  I hope you are too.
