Boston Brain Tumor Ride 2010

Yesterday was the 16th Annual Boston Brain Tumor Ride, an amazing event put together by the National Brain Tumor Society to raise awareness and to build a greater sense of community about the issue of brain tumor's. So many have been affected by brain tumors, or have known someone who has a tumor or have lost a loved one to a brain tumor. And yet, these strong people showed up yesterday to do the 10, 25 or 50 mile bike ride in someone's memory.

I heard about the event on NPR, of course, and thought what a good opportunity it would be to volunteer our photography services. This issue is so relevant and personal to us and I was glad to be a very small part of the day. You may or not know I lost my father to a brain tumor in 2001, and my mother developed a brain tumor a few years ago which is now in remission thanks to the routine chemotherapy she undergoes every 6 weeks or so. Theresa also lost her mother to cancer and we are both thankful to organizations like the Brain Tumor Society that fight to help find a cure. It was truly amazing to hear people's stories yesterday, and in the face of real tragedy, see the hope that still remained.
