As most of you know, October 2014 marks the fourth year since Keira's OMS diagnosis. She has proven to a strong and determined little girl. Keira never lets the setbacks discourage her, nor does she complain. Although we don't have the answers to OMS, nor do we know what treatment is the best for her, we do know how to ride our bikes as a way to fundraise and hopefully bring awareness to this underfunded and rare disease. The training for PAA is never easy. Our spring and summer rides are shorter and usually fun but as fall nears the intensity of our training must ramp up and unfortunately this is also when the school year is in full swing so there are lots of extra things happening with kids and work.
And while I can't say we don't ever complain but when we don't feel like we can pedal anymore all it takes is a second to think about October 2010 and the years of treatment and therapies that followed to put things into perspective.
Keira has come such a long way on this journey.
