Dear Jody and The Pink Ribbon Riders,

I was just writing to say thank you so much for the gift card. It has helped me immensely get many things that I needed as well as food in the house. You can not begin to understand what a relief it is to me. Attached to this is a story that I would love for you to share with others. I am an avid writer and this is my story. Please pass it on to pass on hope and confidence to others while facing this disease.

Also, I am writing you today to ask for your support in a very special mission. It has been my dream for a long time to start a web site dedicated to giving a real perspective on what it's like to live with metastatic breast cancer. Through my web site I hope to be able to inspire people not to give up while providing a good dose of humor. I also would like to pass on a great deal of the accumulated sources that I now have as well. On my web site which is currently under construction www.justyshope.org. I wish to have a page with link to different web sites that have helped me over the past few months.

Allow me to please thank you all in advance for your cooperation in this and for all the help and support you have given me and my daughter.

Sincerely,

Justina Colon

To Pink Ribbon Riders,

What a day brighter to receive a gift card for $500.00 in the mail. It will help me to purchase a good wig and some head coverings, as my hair is all gone. It will help me and my family with my 3 hour drives to chemo.

Again thank you Pink Ribbon Riders for all that you do for all cancer patients out there, we very much appreciate it.

Sincerely,

- a breast cancer survivor from Minneapolis, MN (name is protected)

Everyday brings hope and possibilities

Dear Jody, Jane and the Pink Ribbon Riders,

First of all I want to thank you for all the kind and encouraging notes you have sent my way. You have checked on me on the way –and also thanks for the chocolate goodies! I am entering a difficult stage of treatment “post chemo” where I an attempting to reclaim my life and get back in the saddle, back to my teaching, training and judging. I am quite discouraged and depressed at the moment-still experiencing great fatigue and pain in my legs-keeps me from working and enjoying life in general. Four weeks since my last chemo, I guess it takes time.

Thank you for your loving support and friendship. Thank you again. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Happy Riding-hope you still have some good weather to enjoy.

With love and gratitude,

Barbara
