Hometown: Calgary
Occupation: Aspiring Peloton Rider
Warrior: Hazel Gillespie
Motivation: FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE BATTLED CANCER, FRIENDS WHO ARE LIVING WITH IT AND HAZEL, MY WARRIOR.
Hazel, who is an inspiration to us all, is kicking cancer's butt for the third time. I am truly honoured to have Hazel as my Warrior and respect all that she has done for so many people/communities in her lifetime without expecting kudos of any kind for her efforts. Although we have just recently met, it seems like we have known each other for some time...she makes being her friend easy. She continues to fight with vim, vigour and so much energy. Her positive attitude, wisdom and strength RULE!! In Austin, we will celebrate Hazel's 60th Birthday and the extraordinary efforts and contributions made by all of the 2010 Cancervive participants. I dedicate this ride to Hazel, to another dear friend, Leanne and to all of you who are living with this insidious disease.
