Fatty

As many of you know, I am riding in the Livestrong Challenge in Austin, Texas in October. What you may not know is what team I am riding on.

I am riding on Team Fatty.

Our captain, The Fat Cylist aka Fatty, is probably one of my most favorite people that I've never met.

His wife, Susan, is battling breast cancer that has metasticized. It is literally everywhere.

His post today gives an update on her condition. It isn't good.

Please pray for Susan - so that her pain might be eased.

Please pray for Fatty - so that he will have comfort and strengh while having to watch his wife suffer.

Please pray for their four children.....



I hate cancer.

There's nothing funny about cancer. Well, except that Astrology sign...who chose that?

I hate fu**ing cancer. I've seen way too much of it. Of course, I'll keep Susan & her family in my prayers.

Just don't ask me to ride a bicycle in Austin in October. I'll watch from the sidelines, thank you! I'll be the old lady with the large umbrella, holding a martini.

He really is an amazing man. And I didn't know about this latest news. Will be holding that whole family in my thoughts.

I follow his site, and I'm devastated by Susan's prognosis. They are all in my prayers.

I will definitely pray for Fatty and his family. Cancer is a wicked disease--and as you probably know, one of my best friends has breast cancer (Stage IV)... Just kills me!!!!

Love and Prayers for them,
Betsy
