Why???

There's not too many people who believe that two well respected, intelligent, funny, attractive women like myself and Coach Warlick will venture across country to ride our motorcycles over 3,000 miles. We don't even drive 300 miles in a car. Those of you know that travelling with the Lady Vols is always first class. WE CHARTER everywhere. Spoiled to say the least. But the truth of the matter is we have a cause. A huge cause, and we want the country to know about this cause. So what better way than to ship motorcycles across country, kick off with our fabulous football team on Sept. 2 vs. Cal Berkley and bring a buzz from CA to TN. Breast cancer has attacked not only family, but friends. It doesn't discriminate at all. A dear friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001 at the age of 36. She was also the mother of a 3 year old at the time. It's one thing to battle against opponents on the court, or to battle against your teammates in practice, but to battle cancer, breast cancer, is it's own Final Four Championship Game. It's you, versus cancer. Her attitude, her faith, her will to conquer breast cancer, makes her my champion. She has shared with me that we should pay attention to our bodies, be aware of any changes, visit your physician, and revisit them if you still don't feel comfortable with the diagnosis. She was told she was too young to have breast cancer, but she knew something was wrong, so she insisted on a mammogram. She was in Stage II A (1 lymph node positive). She then chose the most aggressive treatment and she is a breast cancer survivor.
