For the 3rd consecutive year my company, Varen Technology, sponsored a team in support of the 24 Foundation. Each year the team gets a little bigger and we raise a little bit more money doing our part to support the fight against cancer.
Cancer is equal opportunity in that it doesn’t care who you are, how much you make, what your title is, or anything. Cancer just doesn’t care about any of that. Cancer is a vicious disease that devastates people and their family and friends.
Now as bad as cancer is – navigating the craziness that is insurance and the health care system is pretty damn bad also. Now imagine you’re dealing with all this and you’re a kid...or you’re the parent of a child with cancer. Talk about a gut punch…
That’s why the monies raised in the 24 Foundation Baltimore go to support The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults and the LIVESTRONG Foundation; helping you navigate through the ordeal that is cancer and then helping you pick up the pieces and live your life after cancer.
After cancer? The quarterly check-ups? The twice a year check-ups? The annual check-ups? See it really never ends – it’s always there…tingling in the back your mind.
That’s why my company helps me support the 24 Foundation and cancer patients and survivors. We’ve all been touched by cancer in one-way or another.
Still with me? I’m sure you’re thinking ‘Bummer dude – you’re really bringing me down.’
24 Foundation Baltimore, 24 Hours of Booty – it’s really 24 Hours of Fun, Friendship, Family, Hanging out and Riding bikes with great people.
The 24 Hour event is family friendly and geared to all levels of people that ride bikes – see I didn’t say cyclist – I said people that ride bikes. Cause we’re all people now matter how we choose to travel.
So next year come out to the 24 Foundation Baltimore event, pull up a chair and ride around in circles with us as we raise money to help those people that are fighting cancer, have fought cancer and sadly will fight cancer in the future.
