In 1991, my dream life began to break. My marriage ended in divorce. It was all gone! And if that was not enough hardship, I had to listen to the horrible words of my doctor, “Beverly, you have breast cancer.” I was shocked and frozen in fear.
As I began my cancer treatments, I met a friend who was going through similar chemotherapy (化疗) procedures. We began to talk about what brought us joy, happiness and satisfaction in our lives. One thing that we had in common was our love for bike riding. We realized that we should bike not just for enjoyment, but to reclaim our lives. We were going to take back control of our lives. That’s when I signed up for the One-Hundred-Mile Century Ride.
The training began just six months after my last chemo treatment. The physical side of the training progressed well, but I had difficulty with the emotional aspect. To overcome my negative self-talk, I wrote out positive statements and read them each day: “I can cross the finish line.” “I can ride one hundred miles.”
When ride day came, it was a cold, windy September morning. At the half-way point I was thrilled that I’d managed to stay the course that far, but I was already exhausted. It was at that moment of desperation that all the months of preparation and all the support of my friends flashed before my eyes. “I can cross the finish line,” I told myself. “I love this challenge.” With the voices of my friends, family and medical team cheering me on from within, I put my bike in its lowest gear, and standing on my pedals, I stubbornly inched my way up the mountain.
Up, up, up. Little by little, refusing to give up, I was climbing. Then all of a sudden, the splendid view opened up beneath me. I had reached the top of the mountain! How wonderful it felt as the breeze rushed through me, filling me with life! I might have lost my marriage, my money, and temporarily, my health, but I hadn’t lost myself.
