Mike Farmer Gearing Up for The Ride to Conquer Cancer

Update from Mike (August 18th):

Thanks you to everyone who has supported me with their encouragement and donations. I am now riding up to 150+ miles a week: a lot of early morning rides due to heat. I bought a RCC bike jersey and am having survivors sign as well as in memory of loved ones. I rode from downtown up to Floyd Knobs and back. Major hill climb, but a great view.

Long-time Fisherville resident Mike Farmer is training for the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer to be held on September 25-26, 2010. This is a 1- or 2-day bike ride through beautiful bluegrass country benefiting the Norton Cancer Institute.

Mike and his fellow participants have already been training for months to prepare for the physical and mental demands of such a challenge. He will be completing over 100 training miles on his bike just this week. However, all of his long hours of peddling will be rewarded with the beautiful scenery, new friends, the cheering fans, a feeling of accomplishment, and the satisfaction of knowing he has helped a great cause.

Being a two-time cancer survivor himself, Mike would like everyone to help with this great cause and remember those who have been touched by cancer. He is asking everyone, including his Fisherville friends and neighbors, to help him in his mission.

Mike Farmer unites with other cyclists for "Strength in Numbers", this year's motto for the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer. Pictured in the background is one of the many beautiful homes in "downtown" Fisherville, KY.

Mike says:

I'll be participating in a major cycling event called The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting Norton Cancer Institute. I'll be cycling through the scenic bluegrass country with thousands of other Riders. All the proceeds will go to Norton Cancer Institute. I've agreed to raise at least $1200, but I've set my personal goal to $2,000.

I RIDE to help Conquer Cancer for my family and friends and in memory of those who we have lost to Cancer.

I RIDE because I am a two time Cancer survivor!
