The people we call family–whether they share close genetic ties or not–are usually those who have experienced many of our most important moments. They have shared our joy and mourned our pain. A Race Across America attempt, with its many moments of triumph and pain, often draws family together to support their racer.

Rob made his way through Indiana and into Ohio today. He continues to inspire me with his endurance, kindness, and humor. He is exhausted, but he keeps riding.

Rob has received wonderful support throughout the race from his extended family (especially from those impacted by brain cancer)–as well as from his nuclear one.

Rob’s younger sister, Suzy, and her husband drove from Wisconsin to cheer him on in Greensburg, Indiana this morning.

A brain cancer diagnosis calls for that same sort of family support–both emotionally and physically. Those who meet this call mourn the pain of their family member’s illness, and share in their joys and triumphs.
