Week 6

Not much to report this past week. This was a rest week so Sharron’s system got a little downtime, which was much needed. Still working on getting her weight back to where it should be (ADDING weight, that is!). She’s still working hard in physical therapy, and cutting down further on pain medication.

Although they didn’t go watch in person due to the stormy/rainy weather, Sharron and Val watched some of the Amgen Tour of California which rolled through Sacramento this past weekend. As many of you know, Lance Armstrong came out of retirement this year to ride in this race. His campaign, “Hope Rides Again,” is dedicated to those living with cancer and cancer survivors, so it was an extra-special year for this race, to us and others. Danielle went to watch part of Stage 1 on Sunday (2/15) near Lake Berryessa. Lance’s campaign supporters handed out chalk for people to write messages on the road, targeting the messages at those affected by cancer. We’ve included some of Danielle’s pictures here, including one of her next to Sharron’s name that she and friends wrote with the chalk, which we hope all the riders saw! Yay!
