Boop's Troops
Seventeen years ago I started my relationship with ACS through this event. It began as a fitness challenge at age 40, as well as a way to bond with family, friends and co-workers who dared to tackle this killer 65 mile ride to the shore while supporting a "good cause." Unfortunately, like so many of you, my relationship with Cancer became far more personal.
It struck my family hard in early 2017 when we got the news my mom, Elizabeth "Betty Boop" O'Hala had Stage 4 Uterine Cancer. She fought hard, but a Stroke several months into her treatments significantly derailed her fight. We were forced to say goodbye to her in late June of that same year. My mom was a super-energetic and youthful 73 year old woman who had many great years ahead of her. Cancer deprived us of her unforgetable presence and many amazing gifts. I miss her dearly.
In October 2021, I received a call that still to this day I cannot process. My younger brother, Michael O'Hala, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer - HER2 Breast Cancer of all damn things. Now nobody, and I mean NOBODY, deserves to get Cancer, but in a "forced ranking" situation, Mike would've been top of the list of least deserving. After a lifetime dedicating to the service and support of others (especially his family), Mike should've been reaping the benefits of his hard work by enjoying his version of "retirement" anyway he wanted. Instead, He had to embrace the challenge set in front of him and fought like the mentally and physically tough beast we all knew him to be. Unfortunately, On December 2nd of this past year he was taken from us leaving a void that will never be filled. I miss him dearly.
As a member of the newly formed "Boop's Troops", I along with my son, my daughter and her boyfriend, are riding with this purpose. We want to raise as much money as possible to support and sustain critical Cancer research while providing services for people trying to cope with their Cancer experience. Please consider sponsoring our effort with a small donation. Every dollar counts. Hopefully through all of our efforts we will all get to experience more precious time with our loved ones that Cancer too ofter steals from us.
Thank You All and God Bless!
