Why do you participate in the Ride for Roswell?

I am a 19 year survivor but currently fighting again. I attribute my survival to the excellent care provided by my doctors at Roswell, especially Dr. Tracy O’Connor. In addition, many of my family members have passed from this disease and my dear friend list her battle in November. I love having the opportunity to give back a little while doing something I love at the same time. I was an avid bike rider and participated in the Empire State Ride 2 years ago. It was one of my greatest thrills and accomplishments in my lifetime.
