In the weeks prior to departure we (need to) install a revolving door. Lots of activity at the Jerina house. Riders and team managers come by to drop off donations or pick up maps or tires or magnets. It is so great to see how excited they are for our journey. We cleaned off our [...]

This is year 4. My husband and I, along with a small band of folks, sat around a table and planned this ride we call “Challenge to Conquer Cancer” back in 2007. I wasn’t so sure we could recruit enough people to take 6 days off of work and raise $5000 to ride on a [...]

I cannot believe that it has almost been 4 years since Ron and I were at the LiveStrong Challenge in Austin when we met the team, Cancervive. We were at the 5K downtown and I saw a rather large group of people wearing the same shirts with the big word “Cancervive” on them. I kept [...]

This mornings ride from midnight to 6AM was the hardest ride I have ever done. It wasn’t because of the amount of miles we rode because miles were not important. It wasn’t because I should have been sleeping at the time of our ride because I was wide wake. It wasn’t because of sore, tired [...]

Ron here from Team Yellow. After the amazing send off from the Cancer Center we made our way down the road to our first transition spot. We stopped at Mellow Mushroom in Clemson to fuel up and was joined by Kevin, Lisa, Renee and Dennis. We had a great time then packed back in our [...]

I had lunch with Anne Garner my fellow support driver for YELLOW today. We were kind of going over things: logistics, things to pack, how we will stay in contact and who wants to drive the bus. (Thankfully we’ve got help there.) Strangely, I am the ONLY returning driver this year. Some people are looking [...]

Tales from a (don’t) wanna be bus driver
Posted by Jennifer Jerina Published in The "Lighter Side" of the RideHello all. Jennifer J with Team 3 here. I have just finished reading all of the teams posts and wanted to add my thoughts to the mix. As you all know, countless hours have gone into planning this little trek out to the big state of TX.
