Subject: BOOBIES!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Just thought I'd throw out a reminder. It doesn't run in my family, but I have friends whose families have been affected by it, and cancer in general sucks a$$. So feel your ta-tas, ladies.

(Figured I could help out 1TT by putting up a "sex-themed" thread title with an actual purpose, so it won't get yanked. )

I'm bicycle support for a 26.2mile breast cancer walk tomorrow. Ride to the front walker returning to the back walker in a circle pattern getting any assistance they might need. Last year it was a 110mile day. At one point, the course was wide open sun and really hot. I as domestique shuttling up 7-8 water bottles per trip and made >10 trips. It's a long day in the saddle, but not much else I'd rather be doing either.

You're a sweetie!  Most of all, this IS something that is VERY IMPORTANT!!!

There are TOO many women, along with a couple BT'ers that I heard about, are dealing with this carp.

My mom is a survivor, so my little sister and my wife (different people!) walked in teh Susan G.Komen 3 day 60 mile walk. Between the two of them they raised over $10,000. The San Francisco walk raised $4.8MM dollars! There were many teams, but my favorite team name had to be "Save Second Base!"

Imagine how many more views it'll get with a photo:

The Blue-footed Booby (Sula nebouxii) is a bird in the Sulidae family which comprises ten species of long-winged seabirds.

The name “booby” comes from the Spanish term bobo, which means "dunce". This is because the Blue-footed Booby is clumsy on the land. Like other seabirds, they can be very tame. It has been known to land on boats, where it was once captured and eaten.

The natural breeding habitat of the Blue-footed Booby is tropical and subtropical islands off the Pacific Ocean, most famously, the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador.

I am humbled and honored by the very kind offers of the gentleman on this board. It is my deep regret that they don't reside in my vicinity.

Any others? Perhaps in a ZIP code beginning with 90, 91, or 92?

As much as I would like to offer free breast exams to all the ladies, I can be of far more use promoting an event that I am founding, Virginia Rides for Cancer. Details can be found at the above website. We are aiming for a Sept 2009 ride, and the proceeds will benefit the Massey Cancer Center. If you can't ride, you can volunteer and be a part of something special.

(Figured I could help out 1TT by putting up a "sex-themed" thread title with an actual purpose, so it won't get yanked. )

Not to bring the mood down, but my stepmom heard about October being awareness month, did self exam and unfortunately found a lump last Sunday.  Already has had biopsy to confirm its cancer and has surgery scheduled for next Friday to remove the tumor and lymph nodes in the area followed by 5 weeks of radiation.  Thank god for the ads that were running on our local tv so she caught it early so please keep our family in your prayers.

Trying to break the somber mood with my wife, i offered my assistance and got my hands slapped a few dozen times.

That's exactly what this month is all about - raising awareness and catching it early. Thank goodness it worked, and that she caught it early - perhaps MUCH earlier than she otherwise would have. Thoughts and prayers sent out for a successful surgery and treatment.

Any kind BTers needing to brush up on their medical skills live in the Middle of Nowhere, New England? I've got VT and NH to choose from... (good thing I'm not competing with Yanti geographically - I'd get nowhere given THAT avatar!)

It worked out really well Saturday. Lots of "herding" walkers out of the traffic flow and to the shoulder of the road. I acted as a sacrificial lamb for traffic. No drivers were impatient, rude or squuezed through. They all just patiently waited for a clear spot to pass.

One girl had cramping at ~mile 20. I started a conversation with her; she told me she had only had water so far. I gave her the electrolyte lecture, rode back to the previous rest and brought forward a bottle of Gatorade. By mile 24, she was spry and going strong again.

We had 8 riders marshalling 250 walkers. We all rotated lead to laggard and everyone was typically covered every few minutes throughout the day. Rode 80miles all tolled. A couple calls for sag, beverage and traffic duty. Lots of compliments and thank yous.
