Team Sarcoma/Illinois (Kenilworth)

 

Mary Jo Ghiselli and Kimberly Fitzgerald organized a Team Sarcoma/Illinois (Kenilworth) to undertake an 18-mile round trip bike ride. Unfortunately, they started out in rain and didn't start out until sometime after the posted departure time, so their numbers were smaller than they had anticipated. After the ride, Mary Jo wrote us the following note, "We had a group of six attend. It stopped raining when we arrived at the gardens for our lunch. Patrick and Emma met us there. The ride home through the forest was nice. We saw deer and many different birds. I also had bike trouble, my brakes were locked on my front tire the whole ride and my derailleur was broken and rubbing. I was getting exhausted so, we stopped to try and fix it. We met some nice Romanian people along the trail who helped unlock my brakes. When we said goodbye and thank you, I gave them a "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" bracelet. I wonder if they could read one of the languages inside the bracelet."
