Shimano has said "yes," and has provided an incredible amount of support and product as I try to find great incentives for all of you as you work to raise money in the fight against cancer.

I skidded along the ground, sliding on the tarmac as if I were seated on a sled but with only a thin layer of Lycra between skin and rock.
