Katina Bentley's Ride
TEAM LUCA 2011
Repeat donors, welcome back! Thank you for sticking with Team Luca!
If this is your first time donating to Team Luca, you will not be let down....
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
~Helen Keller
P E R S P E C T I V E has a way of tapping me on the shoulder, reminding me to be ever so thankful for the good health that surrounds my family and the physical & mental strength that allow us to take on such challenges as the PMC ride. Yet, no challenge seems greater than the battle of cancer when it is delivered to a child. I am honored to ride again in the PMC for Team Luca. Luca DeLisi passed away in 2005 after battling a rare form of a pediatric brain tumor named Medulloblastoma. He was three years old.
I never had the opportunity to meet Luca in person. His parents, Meg and Jeff DeLisi, have graciously shared many stories about their son... stories that made me laugh and ones that left me speechless and in tears. It is through them that I have come to know that Luca was funny and sensitive, wise beyond his three years. In our family, we keep Luca’s memory alive by talking about him often. He is our friend and our inspiration for putting one foot in front of the other. He is always a gentle reminder to breathe deep, pedal hard, and be kind to others. Because of Luca, I choose to live my life with a refined set of values and absolute appreciation. While I cannot thank him in person for this incredible gift, I can raise awareness by sharing his story.
Three ways you can help me reach my goal:
1. W A T C H: and meet Luca http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQV6iSR9NXU
2. D O N A T E: all amounts are welcome & greatly appreciated
3. S H A R E my link & help me achieve my fund raising goal
