The
parking lot of Alabang Town center was bustling with
activities at 5:30 am. Media, riders, family and friends
flocked to mark the send-off of the riders to their 2-week
adventure. The morning ceremony was hosted by TJ Manotoc,
who introduced James. James shared a few words opf
encouragement that cancer can be beaten and highlighted the
participation of the tatay bikers and some of the kids with
cancer who were present. Team David's Salon, the first
all-women multisport team, joined the first leg to show
support on this worthy cause.
The
ride started with only 30 people from Alabang. Upon reaching
Lipa City, the number of riders surged up to 200 (Thanks to
the participation of BMB!). The group was served unlimited
gatorade and snacks on each rest stop. Upon reaching the
municipality of Batangas city, the group was welcomed by the
city government.
The
cancer forum started at 2pm and ended at around 4pm. It was
jampacked by people who would like to know more about
cancer. There were sharings from people who were afflicted
by the disease and there were information sharing from the
expert doctor. Out of the 80 wards of the foundation, 50%
are from Batangas.
