Funny sounding title ain’t it. The story actually should
intrigue the adventurer in all of us. Sharon Wynn has raised a
family to include children, grand children, and even a great
grandchild. She has helped mold the young minds of children
for over 30 years, as a part of Texas’s educational system. You
could say Sharon led a rich and full life worthy of taking time off
to sit back and relax, but that’s not her plan.
You see, Sharon was diagnosed with congestive heart failure
in 2002. Being a two-time survivor of cancer forged a steely
resolve in this lady, She stands up and wants to fight when
others lie down and die.
Sharon stated recently, “I refuse
to just sit and maybe survive." She devised a
plan to embark on a journey across America. She plans on
traveling 10,000 miles in 1000 days with the sole mission of
raising money to assist in finding a cure for these horrible
diseases, cancer and congestive heart failure. This trip would be
quite the accomplishment no matter the mode of travel, but
Sharon plans on making the trip on a Harley-Davidson. What
better way to see the states, I say?
We here at Bikernet salute Sharon and want to help her on
her journey. Part of her plan is to gain 100,000 names and
pledges for support of her cause. Just check the list of cities and
dates to see if the traveling grandma will be coming to a town
near you. We at Bikernet will publish updates on her travels and
be able to post news of her journey right here on Bikernet.

Whew! I’m tired just looking at her trip. Anyways, we want
to wish her the best of luck! You got to love a woman who
refuses to quit even in the most discouraging times. Some of us
should take a lesson from Sharon when we are complaining
about gas prices and other trivialities every day. Maybe we
should count our blessings. So join us here at Bikernet, and give
Sharon your support as she travels this country of ours during
the final leg of what has been a very busy life shaping our
leaders of tomorrow! You can check on Sharon at
