In 1997 Dan Leonard was diagnosed with cancer for the first time. He beat the disease even after he was told he had a short time to live. In 1999 he was diagnosed again with cancer, and again, beat it. Today he is riding across the country, from San Diego to South Carolina. Riding his bicycle more than two-thousand miles to raise awareness and money for cancer research.
Danny says it's important to collect donations. It's money that will be used by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Danny hopes to present them a big check with the help of viewers like you. More importantly though, Danny is hoping his ride inspires someone to get an early detection test.
Danny and his riding buddy Drew Wessels will stop in El Paso for a day of hospital visits on May 6th. They'll be heading to Dallas next. They welcome riders of any ability to join them. If not, follow them on their website as they post their journey daily at www.dannysride.Org. Or send an email to Drew@DannysRide.org
