This event is held every October 2nd, and this year there were events held in over 800 cities around the world!
It was a beautiful fall day here in Tokyo warm, but not hot, sunny, but a few clouds to give some relief too.
I am very enthused about this group, I love the whole "LiveStrong" message, that cancer is something we have to beat and if we can pool our resources worldwide, we can make progress.
I am going into the hospital on October 13th to have a suspect melanoma removed from my back, I'm hoping and praying it is NOT malignant, but if it is, i will deal with that as it comes.

All in all it was a great day, I got in close to a 20km ride going there and back, and a good 4km long walk with the group. I met a bunch of very nice engaged people, I'll be taking part in other events with this group for sure.
