Team Bear! Celebrating Beth Peterman
2009 was a year filled with some pretty extreme ups and downs. Team Bear formed up to ride and run in the Seattle LIVESTRONG Challenge as a way to show our support for Beth Peterman. Beth was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2003. After a 6 year battle, including surgeries, chemo and an unbelievable attitude and fight, Beth’s challenge ended. Just three days after Team Bear strode and rode across the finish line of the Seattle Challenge, Beth's battle with cancer ended.
The time after has been difficult for all of us, Team Bear members and supporters, and others who knew and loved Beth and her impact on our lives. Marked by a number of points in time that Beth and her friends and family cherished together, summer events, birthdays, gatherings, successes and challenges at work and in life, and sometimes just those moments we could look into her eyes and smile at each other.
After a very successful Seattle Challenge fundraising drive, October also marked a re-gathering of Team Bear’s cyclists and 4000 other LIVESTRONG supporters at the Austin LIVESTRONG Challenge. Thanks to our 2009 supporters, Kevin and Team Bear were invited to Austin after raising just over $28,000! Kevin and Michael started the ride in the front group of 140 riders. Everyone had a great time in Austin and we all met some really great people fighting cancer as survivors, caregivers, friends and family alike. You can read more about our time in Austin and the 2009 Seattle Challenge at the Team Bear blog: http://www.team-bear.org
This year Team Bear is proud and excited to ride, run and walk in the 2010 Seattle LIVESTRONG Challenge and would like all of our friends and family to join us. Come along with us, or if you can’t please consider a donation to our team. As part of Team LIVESTRONG, we are making a difference in the fight against cancer. We have joined with other people around the globe to raise money for LIVESTRONG. The money we raise will go to support LIVESTRONG’s programs and services, which inspire and empower people affected by cancer. If you or someone you know is diagnosed, these resources will help face the challenges of cancer, head on, and live life on your own terms.
Team Bear, united to fight cancer believing that unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything.
