Around this time last year a text from my (40yo) brother popped up on the screen of my car as I was leaving the grocery store on a Saturday morning: I HAVE BOWEL CANCER. The initial shock (which was so substantial I hit the trolley guard rail coming out of the parking lot 🙈 ) wore off and my steadfast optimism settled in. It was No Big Deal, Dan reassured me, it's just a nuisance. He would get it cut out and move on with his life. He wasn't a "Cancer Guy" after all. Spoiler Alert: It was a big deal. And cancer has dominated the landscape of our lives for the last year but the past 5 months in particular. I'm about to fly home to Canada to support Daniel Simmons, his wife Monica and my family (in the middle of a major transaction - thanks to the support of my team at Tundra Resource Analytics as well as my wonderful clients & the teams I am working in who are demonstrating genuine care in covering for me and ensuring I can prioritise my family right now). By coincidence Dan's company Shared Tower, is participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer in Dan's honour while I am in Canada so my Mom and I have joined the team. Will I struggle? Absolutely. But I'm acutely aware of what an actual struggle looks like so it is easy to find the perspective to battle through a 100km bike ride. One of the worst parts of this experience is knowing that this pain is not localised to my family. Statistically there are no families that will be untouched by the horror of cancer in their lifetime. Cancer research funding is so critical and so if you feel so inclined you can contribute to my fundraising efforts at the link below. The Ride to Conquer Cancer is Canada's largest and most impactful cycling fundraising, having raised $280 million since its inception. https://lnkd.in/dh4CdmTs
