>Since last year's ride, Greg and I have actively recruited members for our team - the more team members for "Fighting Back", the more money for Peter Mac! Each rider has to fundraise a minimum of $2500 which goes straight to Peter Mac.
However, today Fighting Back has split. Greg & I and the riders we've recruited will be separating and forming a new team. And to say I am shattered would be an understatement. Greg delivered the news to me, ironically, when I was out on the bike this morning. I just don't understand it, nor will I ever, so I have to accept the "break up", deal with that achy sick feeling I have in the pit of my stomach, and move on.
But I don't want to.
I AM "Fighting Back". It's my team too! Sure, I didn't start it, but I put my heart & soul into it. And now I've been kicked out.
I am sure I will get over it, but right now I want to stamp my feet and scream. But it's done. It's over. We are no longer Team Fighting Back. And I just can't put into words how sad that makes me.
You will be fine, we will look at the bigger picture and that is raising money for people like your amazing dad who need it. It is just a name after all and we can call ourselves whatever we like, but we are all still doing a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that. Why the split though?
ReplyDeleteAnon, it's a long story, but we're all just going our separate ways with different ideas on what we want from the team.
DeleteThere is only one good thing about a break up ... and that is the make-up!!!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds us all of why we are here. And it shows the passion that we all have for this cause.
