Good luck from the PCFA

To all of our dear Tour de Cure Friends

The time now looms for your glorious ride and we shall be with you – all the way.
Just to think it was less than a year ago that Geoff first spoke to us about this dream.
Back then its seemed great but there was so much to do – but it has just been like a Field of Dreams

…..“if I build it they will come”

And so Tour de Cure has been built – and you have all come together and given so much of your time and your energy.
And you have helped us reach so many people with some vital messages about cancer – and what people can do to help.

Last year, as my brother, Kensit, was going through his battle with cancer I read up on Lance Armstrong – this is from him.

"I don't have any more bad days. I have good days and I have great days.
Cancer no longer consumes my life, my thoughts, or my behavior.
If I have a tough week, all I have to do is sit back and reflect on what I went through, and look at my son, and things don't bother me anymore.

When you almost lose your life to cancer, and then win the Tour de France, and then become a father, it grows you up fast.
Before, all of my questions were directed toward the "me," as in "Why me?" or, "What are my chances?"

But now I've started looking at other people."
Lance Armstrong

They were words I kept in mind when we lost my wonderful brother aged 50 in September last year.

Its just one of the reasons that I consider myself so lucky to be working here for the Prostate Cancer Foundation,
to be helping men and their families fight cancer, and to have the fortune to be to be working with inspirational people like yourselves.

So from all of us here at the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, we wish you a great ride !!!!!!!

Cheers and best wishes,
