Gestern ein langes Gespräch mit einer Mitpatientin, die nun auch beide Hüftgelenke ersetzt braucht. Wie einem diese Nachricht erstmal die Füße wegzieht, weiß ich ja sehr genau. Literally. Man darf es zwischendurch einfach auch mal 💩finden, daß unweigerlich wieder irgendein Mist um die Ecke biegt, wenn man drei Wochen lang das Gefühl hatte, wow, läuft grad echt gut! #fxckcancer #Bonusleben #leukämie #ersatzteile #stammzelltransplantation

Der Kauf eines Taschenkalenders fürs nächste Jahr. Was man früher so im Vorbeigehen erledigt hat, ist seit drei Jahren ein Innehalten und dankbar sein. Keiner von uns weiß, ob man das nächste Jahr erleben darf. Aber zu wissen, man hat die Chance darauf - das macht demütig. #Bonusleben #Stammzellspende #fxckcancer

8.9 + 75.5 = 84.4 miles done today, making it the most I’ve ever ridden in a single day! 95.3 was the course mileage for the day, so 89% - not too bad! Halfway done, two days down, two days to go!

I’m tired. I could quit.

But you know who else is tired but can’t quit? Cancer patients.

It’s for them I ride, and it’s for them I won’t quit. Less than 20 miles to go!

About 51 miles so far today. Little over 32 to go. Much cooler today, and less headwind, both of which are super nice!
