WE DID BECAUSE WE COULD!

Congratulations and thank YOU for being part of the inaugural We Will Because We Can healing bike ride.

0 Injuries, 0 Flat Tires, Fun, Friends

IT WAS A FANTASTIC SUCCESS!

Together we have been able to raise $10,000!  This will allow us to bring a variety of activity based support programs to local cancer survivors.  Visit www.cancer-renewal.org in the future to see how these funds will be used in local communities offering a variety of healing and wellness programs.
