In 2012 my mother, Madeline Lamb, died after an 80 day battle with brain cancer. While glioblasotma is a rare type of brain tumor, it is a cancer that quickly brings people to their knees. Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma have a very dim prognosis. Every time I do an event that benefits cancer research and cancer patients, I do it in honor of my beautiful, brillant, compassionate mother whose life was cut way too short by this devastating disease.
In her life, she was a helper, so much so, that when she was dying her colleagues raised money for charities in her honor by selling bracelets that read: "What would Madeline do?" I try to ask myself that question every single day. In this case, I know exactly what she would tell me to do, she would tell me to ride...
Thank you for your consideration in sponsoring me in the 2015 le Tour de Femme.
Warmly,
Amanda
