Our Mission

Ride With Clyde - Battling Cancer With Bennet Epperson

This is actually set up with the sole purpose of raising funds in various ways to help support Baby Ben, Jenny, Dave, and their families and friends during Ben's fight with cancer.

This blog seemed the best way for me to put all of my various efforts together in one place so that I could share them with others.

I will also try to update the blog with Bennet's condition and other news of his care and treatment as I hear it.

Feel free to post comments and make suggestions for other ways to raise money or generally help out. You can also get in touch with me at ridewithclyde2010@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance to everyone for their support. F*ck Cancer!

Chemo Round 4 and a Benny Event

Hi all.  So first off, Benny started his 4th round of chemo yesterday and rocked another day of it today.  One more day tomorrow and he's done with round four.  I believe the next step after this will be to head to Portland in two to three weeks (not sure exactly when yet) for a day of tests up at Doernbecher to see what the tumor is doing.  Obviously, we're all rooting for a best case scenario of the tumor being gone, but I'm not a doctor and have no idea if that's even in the cards at this point.  My not being a doctor won't stop me from thinking good thoughts that this is in fact the case though.

Item number two for today as the title states is a big Benny event going down this weekend in Medford.  This big Benny event has been put together by Benny, Jenny, and Dave's friend Kathrine Henry.  The basic details are as follows:

Baby Ben's Charity Yard Sale
Date/Time: Friday 9/17 and Saturday 9/18 9am-4pm both days
Location: RE/MAX Ideal Brokers parking lot (across from airport)3539 Heathrow Way Medford, OR

Donations for the yard sale can be made and you can volunteer to help out by either sending an email to teambensfriends@gmail.com or calling (541)770-3325.  Donations can also be brought directly to RE/MAX by the end of business on Thursday, or they will happily be picked up if you call or email.  You can also show up to help price items and organize whenever you have a free minute or two to spare.  Volunteers to help work the actual yard sale are also welcome.  If you don't have anything to donate or time to spare to help out, at least try to head down to the yard sale and check out what's for sale, maybe buy something if you find something you like, on Friday or Saturday.  If I'm not mistaken, depending on how Ben is feeling after the chemo this week, Jenny is going to try to bring him out at least for a little while on both days.  Thanks to everybody making donations and helping out.  I wish I could be there to help out, but I can't, so those of you who can should check it out, take pictures, and send them to me at rideforclyde2010@hotmail.com so I can post them here on the blog.  Great job Kathrine!

That's all for today.

F*ck cancer, I ride with Clyde!
