Cruising For Cures
One Woman, Sharon Wynn, Will Not Lie Down
By Johnny "Humble" White

Cruising For Cures Logo

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!
