Fundraiser by MacKenzie Lucas
Hi I am MacKenzie Lucas.
I have chosen to ride my bike across Canada to raise money for Lung Cancer. I have chosen to do the bike ride in the Summer of 2015, ending the tour on my twenty first birthday, which is September 6, 2015. I have chosen to raise money for lung cancer as it has had an impact on my family. I lost both my grandparents to cancer, most recently my grandfather to Lung Cancer and I am doing this for them.
This is not the first time I have raised money for cancer. When I was in elementary school, my friends’ brother died of cancer and so I grew my hair out, raised $1200 in donations and then donated my hair for wigs. The reason I am doing this is because it bothers me that everyone has been affected by cancer in some shape or form. I decided that since I may not be able to find the cure, I will raise money in a way that is unique to me; I love to ride my bike and that’s why I chose to do it on a bike.
I also choose to do the same route Terry Fox planned on taking across Canada because as a kid, he was a role model to me. The fact that he took on the challenge to run across Canada with a prosthetic leg, really helps motivate me when I start to get scared. He had a bigger challenge to overcome than I will, and that put my nerves to the back of my mind.
They way I look at it, all I have got to do is just pedal my bike, true heroes are the people who are taking care of all the patients who are diagnosed with lung cancer, and every other deadly disease. The people who motivate me the most are the people who are fighting the battle against cancer. I want to say to all the people who have fought the battle and won or are still fighting the battle, keep your head up stay positive. Find what makes you happy and keep it close. I pray for each and every one of you to get better and I hope that in some way shape or form, what I am doing helps you.
