To Cyril Huze, womenmotorcyclist.com and My Motorcycle Family – Thank you!
The support I have received means more to me that words could ever express. The day I learned I needed attention for Breast Cancer I thought my life was perfect. I never thought I would be dealing with Breast Cancer and other health issues, more so I never thought I would be left to deal with it alone.
The morning I discovered I needed immediate health attention, I had plans of marriage, a beautiful diamond ring sat on my left finger and I was planning my move to Canada. I was led to believe for the first time in my life I did have family. The man I was going to marry was at his shop in Canada working on the land speed racing custom bike I'm on in the photo called “Goldmember”. My fiancé told me the health issues I had to deal with would hold him back. He wanted to stay at the shop in Canada, get this bike painted and prepped to for competition in the upcoming Sturgis World Championship bike competition. I was scared for my life and I never imagined he would leave me to deal with my Breast Cancer issues on my own, especially knowing I had no family or other support. I never imagined I would be abandoned in my time of need. My body went into what the doctors called a crisis state. They said dealing with breast cancer; having my fiancé bail and no financial support was too much. My body started shutting down. I then ended up having to deal with unnecessary medical complications. The panic of dealing with my health was terrifying, but the desolation of being treated overnight like I was dead was hell. There are no words that come close to describing the devastation I felt. I felt like I just didn’t matter. Then word got out in the motorcycle community that I was going thru a hard time and I was dealing with it alone. I’ve been embraced by familiar faces and strangers who ride motorcycles with bigger hearts than I’ve ever known. The depth of appreciation I have to the motorcycle community is beyond words. - Thank you to Cyril, and thank you to each and every one of you!
- Thank you to womenmotorcyclist.com for setting up the site to support me!
- You folks have picked me up when my life took a supercharged, fuel injected slam to the ground.
I AM here because of your love and support. I AM beyond grateful.
Thank you for being my family. With love and gratitude, Brenda Fox Last update: 11-08-2008 18:33
